CAPs (Community Action Programmes), Guildford 2009
Last year we travelled the Road to Davos. How is Global Changemakers different? Has anything changed other than the road signs?
Global Changemakers still brings young activists from around the world to high-profile events - but more than that, the programme commits to the Changemakers by helping them develop so-called Community Action Programmes (or CAPs). These CAPs may be small in scope or large in ambition; they may be run in one village or in several countries.
In the following weeks we will be working on training materials that will help the Changemakers in creating and running their own projects. We are also putting a system in place that will allow Changemakers to submit project proposals. As work on the CAPs begins, expect to hear regular updates on what the Changemakers network is accomplishing!

CAP training sounds interesting…here in Nepal, we are offered no such training on CAPs- and we have to fight for funding in the INGOs against the proposals submitted by registered NGOs. The chances that we get through is very slim.

I think that CAPs is an excellent idea!

I am so happy that there is now a structure that can assist participants after they leave Guidlford. I have started my Community Action Project in collaboration with Nick and Whitney and Youth End Poverty is really going strong.
