Exploring the Reasons BEHIND the Actions: What are Our Assumptions?

Introduction

Where do we start planning our action? In order to make effective, lasting change in your community, it is important to take an honest look at why we believe our communities need to change. These are called assumptions: the underlying beliefs we have that inform all of our actions everyday.

Everything operates from assumptions, whether they have been stated or not. This includes families, schools, and society as a whole. Before you embark on any course of action, take time to explore your assumptions, and share them with others.
