From the Editors

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the ICA International’s magazine, “Winds and Waves”.

The ICA has always seen part of its role as providing timely and important information regarding our mission of Community Development around the world. In the past we have done that through regional newsletters, the Internet (i.e.“The Global Buzz”) and various journals. We now will endeavour to also provide a magazine which will expand on those avenues of information dissemination.
This issue of the magazine focuses on the Collaborative Efforts many colleagues and associates of the ICA are engaged in. I’m sure you will find their reports informative and inspiring.

Also, the Technology of Participation (ToP) programs continue to evolve and make an impact on communities and individuals in a variety of situations and configurations.
And finally, we all would like to join with ICA-USA and ICA-Canada as they celebrate their 50th and 35th years, respectively, of service to the world.

Enjoy.
