About  [Edit]

In many communities, the natural ways of the local people and their associations and institutions constantly connect local capacities. For example:

* Neighbors have a tradition of helping each other by trading their skills.

*A local association of religious men combines their construction skills and builds a community center.

*A neighborhood school involves the local students in using the environmental knowledge they've gained to do a study for city council of whether a local pond is polluted.

In addition to these natural developments, other communities have intentionally used tools like the Capacity Inventory to identify local citizen talents. Then these groups have become active in making the necessary connections to mobilize the capacities.
