5 Hope
5.Hope
•
Hope is the belief that something positive can happen, that
change can happen
happen. Hope relates to both present and future
future.
It is central to formation of a community memory. It is not only a
belief but an experience that the situation can and will be better.
It means valuing off the past, belieff in the future
f
and action in
the present. This is not necessarily tied to circumstance (i.e. it
is not materially based), it is something inside people, Hope
can be individual or collective, that is, in some situations it may
not be individually owned but, be in connection to others.

6 Learning and Transfer
6.Learning
•
Transfer is also sometimes referred to as ‘diffusion’ - it refers to
the sharing of meanings across boundaries which include
knowledge, experience and particularly concepts or ideas such
as care, community, change, leadership and hope. Imitation or
replication off activities is less important than ways off thinking
and approaching the situation such as team work and
participation. Transfer may occur spontaneously, or reflect a
level of development within a community in which they see
needs beyond their own community and actively seek to share
their experience
p
with other.

• The spiritual dimension is part of
everyday life and physical well being,
as well as a belief in the continuity of
life beyond the physical. This notion is
