Tukae Tusemesane – Let’s Sit Down and Reason Together

Enlivening Strengths and Community

ABSTRACT

One of the challenges of Appreciative Inquiry is to develop practices that refract our strengths into the world around us in ways that hold us responsible for each other. This paper presents a collaborative curriculum between Kimo, a Kenyan NGO, and Appreciative Action that offers practices to enliven relational strengths and send them outward into the community.
