Taking part in the school for leaders has taught us not to be afraid of participating. We have seen how Progressio's partner organisation, COINCIDE, works with young people, women and men from all kinds of different groups. They believe everyone has something to contribute and the right to participate. In our work at community level we have learnt from that. We have mixed our experience with their theory and now we work with more local people - to fight poverty, to tackle violence. Before, we thought 'why should we invite everyone to participate?' Now we realise we can all work towards a common objective.
