effort put in locally
Making connections – building trust

A radical approach to healthcare:
Doctors need patients as much as
patients need doctors; they become equal partners.
Focus shifts from people’s problems
to their abilities.
Using the hidden resources in a
community to provide access to more than the traditional range of
services.
"It makes the surgery part of the
community again – people aren’t just coming here because they are
sick"

What is the purpose of the
question:
"What are you good
at?"
How about asking:
"What do you enjoy
doing?"
1. Tell me about a time when you felt you were part of an effective
team, a group or a community?
2. Describe an occasion when a group or partnership you belonged to
worked together and succeeded in bringing about positive change. What
made it happen?
3. Imagine you are part of a team involved in a successful community
project in the future. What is it and how are you involved? What made
you want to be involved? How are you made to feel that your contribution
is valued?
How we do it:
Core group develop appreciative questions
Questions used in conversations
Stories noted and gathered, common themes
identified
Use these to describe the shared vision
Large event to view the vision and
implement
Group Discussion
1. Where
in your area of work or situation can you see an opportunity for using
Imagine?
2. What
are the design questions for your situation?
3. What
would your group or community of interest look like with an
appreciative approach embedded in its work? Choose one image that
shows this.
