Change Partners:

Change Partners are the people who catalyzing organizations work with to enlarge their efforts into the target community, such as:

members
volunteers
experienced target audience members
outreach individuals, e.g., teachers
community leaders
partnering organizations
sponsors/funders
contractors

One of their leadership roles is to provide feedback to the catalyst leaders about the need/effectiveness of capacity-building efforts.

Community Catalyst Organizations:

Organizations that have resources and intentions focused on supporting changes that will improve communities in a wide variety of ways.

Catalyzing change usually requires the organizations to engage people by:

inviting them to join in their effort
providing them with information
keeping them informed on results
gathering feedback to improve the work
connecting them with others

One of their leadership roles is to create and build leadership capacity in communities, so their efforts can be sustained beyond the initial momentum.

Innovative Learning Experience:

Instead of the traditional instructional approach, the forum will build on the wisdom and experiences of the whole group using dialogue as the key learning tool. What we mean by dialogue: "Interacting with others in a manner in which each of us brings an intention to understand and learn while remaining open to the possibility of change." Dialogue, when working well, energizes and catalyzes creativity leading to unforeseen insights and ideas. Dialogue is powerful; it provides an opportunity to have completely new conversations and a means for group wisdom to emerge.
