Spud’s Thoughts:
I don’t know much about this program so I can’t say much about the program, but in looking through their curriculum, there are a couple elements that are familiar to me – like the Oasis game. I participated in Oasis in Amsterdam many years ago and it was an incredible experience. The model comes from Brazil and is an asset-based approach to empowering communities to transform their public spaces.
