How to Develop Ourselves, Others and Our Community

Abstract

The author examines the problem of how to make individuals share responsibility for their own development and the development of their community so as to satisfy their own needs and those of their local community. In this connection she examines the role of adult educator as an animator in local projects. She stresses the importance of establishing new relation­ ships between local communities and the state, and implementation of what she calls a "structura and policy" for systemic furtherance of local projects. Finally, she dwells upon the role of community-set projects in the perspective of the development of the locality.
