The Sociedade Portuguesa de Psicologia Comunitária is pleased to be hosting the 2011 IACD Conference at Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon from 6th to 8th July 2011.
In an increasingly globalised world, it is our understanding that Community Development plays a central role in promoting understanding of the local and global interdependence of our communities.
The Hong Kong IACD Declaration (2007) points to a need “…to work in genuine partnership, in building socially and economically inclusive, diverse, environmentally sustainable, gender responsive and just societies”. This implies a strong commitment to goals and strategies of community leadership, and the transformational capacity of citizens to act as agents for change.
Transformational leadership of this kind creates pathways for civil society and community groups to become empowered, through more active participation in community decision making processes to engage with, and influence public and corporate policies at the local, regional, national and international levels.
The premises include a large auditorium, a space for temporary exhibitions, a congress area with auditoriums and other rooms, as well as a large building that houses the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and the Art Library. The entire complex is set in the Gulbenkian Park.
