Christian faith and values can and should make a difference in the business of natural resource extraction. The industry is quite important in Toronto, and plays an important role in the Canadian economy. Many mining companies are headquartered here, and many of the junior companies that conduct exploration and development activities in the developing world are located here. This course will provide some tools and skills to analyse the impacts that extractive industries have on the people that live around mining projects and facilitate working with those affected in ways that create a sustainable future for them. Being able to impact the decision making processes of this industry is equally important, so that mining improves the lives of people. Companies are becoming aware that their decisions must be taken from a perspective of justice and fairness towards all their stakeholders and not only from the perspective of maximizing profits for owners or investors. Obtaining and maintaining the "Social License to Operate" is critical to their success. The course aims to strengthen analytical skills as well to provide tools to work bottom up with communities, knowing that stakeholders have their own interests and agendas not necessarily seeking to maximize the long term welfare of the communities.
A participatory community development approach includes a range of movements with names such as grassroots development, people-centred development, participatory learning and action (PLA), capabilities-based development, and assets-based community development (ABCD). Marginalized communities are offered capacities to shape the direction of their own lives, and to challenge and change unjust social, political and economic structures. These participatory approaches seek to elevate local people and their organizations to central roles in decision-making and implementation of the development strategies the impact their lives. To be sustainable and effective, community transformation requires local agents of change who focus on developing local capacities and skills. These change agents – whether practitioners and leaders in local community organizations or churches – need to be well-equipped with knowledge and tools to inspire, guide and facilitate change processes that match well the local context and conditions. This course introduces participants to a selection of these approaches that have proven valuable to organizations and practitioners involved in mobilizing, building and catalyzing community development initiatives. At the heart of community development processes stands the development facilitator: her/his effectiveness depends on this set of knowledge, skills and tools.
In the last three decades, disappointment with traditional "top-down" international development delivered by external experts began to propel community-driven approaches from the margins to the centre of development practice. This family of community development approaches includes a range of siblings with names such as grassroots development, people-centred development, participatory learning and action (PLA), capabilities-based development, and assets-based community development. Marginalized communities are offered capacities to shape the direction of their own lives, and to challenge and change unjust social, political and economic structures. These participatory approaches elevated local people and their organizations to central roles in decision-making and implementation of development strategies.

These change agents - whether local church or community organization leaders or practitioners - need to be well-equipped with knowledge and tools to inspire, guide and facilitate change processes that match well the local context and conditions. Through the rich past and present of community development, a range of tools and practices have emerged worthy of study and application.
