Participants
The
Equity Summit and continued broader participation and
collaborative strategies is particularly important now that a
number of new groups have joined CAN. If they are to see CAN as
theirs, they must experience it as a ‘Melting Pot’ in which
their interests and opinions are taken seriously. This refers in
particular to development groups, but also trade, social justice
and human right groups, and even to new kinds of climate
groups. At the same time CAN needs to insure its continued
relevance to its existing members and to becoming clearer about
the “glue” – the overall equity dimension – that can hold the
climate movement as a whole together in the battle to define a
common strategy capable of holding the warming below the crucial
2oC threshold.
Thus the participants to the event will comprise of CAN and
selected Non CAN Members…

workshops and learning journeys in Cyprus, bringing together
bi-communal groups to explore a culture of peace.
During her
fieldwork for her MA in social anthropology, she became
interested in the Change Lab approach towards stuck problems
after she co-initiated a grassroots process with township
artists, the community and the local government around arts,
well-being and community pride in KwaMashu township, South
Africa. Pursuing the dual aims of health and social
innovation, this project included issues of identity, race and
racism, culture and cultural regeneration and healing. The
groups created film, dance and drama pieces on these issues.
She aims to facilitate processes where marginalised or
disadvantaged groups enable others to see their value, talents
and potential and participate with others groups, corporations
and government agencies, to create positive futures together.
Before studying
for a degree in Human Sciences, she worked as a community
development worker in North East Thailand. After her degree,
Mia worked as a consultant at Shared Intelligence, an economic
and social regeneration consultancy company. With SI she
facilitated action learning groups for community leaders,
government and neighbourhood managers to influence practice
and policy in disadvantaged communities.

Mia has also been involved in research efforts with Colombian
social movements and trade unions to uncover human rights
abuses in the public education sector and amongst indigenous
communities.
Mia has authored

coordinating research exploring the conditions for multi-sectoral
