The Practice Ecosystem – Five Pillars that bring inclusion to life
The five pillars of Community Powered Responses guide how we work within humanitarian and community development spaces, moving from imagination to practice, from reflection to action. We ground our work in community led approaches, evaluate inclusive practice and design practical and inclusive tools, support values driven practices, cultivate reflection through Power to Praxis, and shape discourse thought leadership. Together these pillars create an ecosystem that helps inclusion move beyond policy to practice.
Featured Practice Tools
Power to Praxis Cards and Book
Power to Praxis: Reflection Cards and Guide Book
A reflective practice suite designed to support deeper, more ethical decision making across climate, crisis, and development work. The cards and book help practitioners and teams move beyond technical fixes into cultural, relational, and justice-aligned practice.
Diverse SOGIESC Inclusive Systems Assessment
Diverse SOGIESC Inclusive Systems Assessment
A whole-of-organisation assessment that examines culture, systems, structures, and practice to strengthen inclusion across programs and teams. Designed for NGOs, INGOs, funders, and community organisations wanting to move from intent to systems change.
Why this work matters
Inclusion is not a checklist. It is a systems practice shaped by culture, power, and relationships. We support organisations to build culturally safe, community-led systems that align values with daily decisions.
Upcoming Workshops and Practice Circles
Monthly Practice Circles
A free one hour online gathering for practitioners across community development, humanitarian action, gender, disability, and diverse SOGIESC inclusion. The Practice Circle is a space to slow down, step back from the urgency of project cycles, and explore the real tensions that shape community led, GEDSI focused work.
Each month we work with one shared question drawn from lived experience inside development or humanitarian systems. Together we look at how power, purpose, and practice show up in everyday decisions, and what it means to act with integrity even when structures feel rigid.
You will not be asked to perform expertise or arrive with polished answers. The Practice Circle is held with care and grounded in relational, decolonial practice. We listen, reflect, and learn from one another.
The sessions are free and open to all practitioners, including students.
Power to Praxis Launch: Introducing the Reflection Cards for Decolonial Design
A free one hour online launch event introducing the new Power to Praxis Reflection Cards and sharing the purpose, politics, and design behind them. This session offers a first look at how the cards support ethical, values-led decision making across the project cycle.
You will hear short reflections from contributors, experience a gentle guided activity using a selection of cards, and learn how to access the deck and related practice resources. Open to all practitioners who want to move beyond technical checklists and reconnect practice with purpose.
