Future Search has an amazing partner in Africa called Africa Bridge. This organisation, founded by Barry Childs has worked in communities, using Future Search. The work is to develop novel and effective approaches to poverty by working on issues of child development. This year Africa Bridge led a new project working with communities in a wildlife corridor. Future Search was used to first convene children and then to convene the wider community in a process to identify common ground for the area. Barry and his team are doing a briefing on this work on Thursday 3 September. Details below including where to register.
You’re invited to a special 30-minute Africa Bridge briefing:

Lasting change begins by listening.
Africa Bridge is beginning an important new phase of its work in the Manyara region of Tanzania. During this briefing, we will share how our community-led approach brings together local voices to identify priorities, strengthen engagement and build programs that communities can sustain.
You will hear directly from the people leading this work and learn:
- Why listening is essential to the Africa Bridge model
- Why the role of a Future Search meeting process in community planning matters
