📕 “When preconceptions fade away, spaces open up for new and creative relations.” – What Makes Us Human? 📕 

We would love to hear YOUR story in written or video form.

This is how people featured in the book approach SALT:

STORY	EXPERIENCE	AUTHOR
Astonishing idea of appreciation	It’s not about me appreciating people… It’s about me talking to people so that they appreciate their own strengths.	Phil, a British member of  the Constellation, current chair
The learning journey	It is necessary for all of us to be SALTy. It is the connector that helps bring life and nourishment to the theoretical movements that we all want but which has rarely seen in practice.	Ian, an Australian founding member of the Constellation, coordinator of “Affirm Facilitation Associates”
Strength as a connector	It requires this constant in my words mindfulness or awareness – oh yeah, let’s first look for strengths!	Gaston, a Dutch living in Thailand and working as an executive coach/entrepreneur
Trusting humanity	Instead of just trying to convince someone, I start listening first…I found a way how to be more myself and to relate more with others in this way.	MariJo, a Spanish member of the Constellation
An internal and external compass	You’re actually always looking for what’s there, not what’s not there.	Claire, an Australian psychologist, came across SALT 15 years ago
Transformative change through sharing a present	At the same time as facilitating transformative change in other people, we’re letting people transform us. And that’s ok. […] It’s a way of insuring that when we come alongside those people, we are present in that moment with them in a way that allows us to acknowledge all things that have brought them and us to that point.	Matt, an Australian community development worker for local government
SALT as a way of being human, being natural	Be there, listen, care for eachother and be authentic. Be yourself.	Marlou, a Dutch living in France and working as a manager of the Constellation’s Global Support Team
Always been inside	I think SALT was always part of my DNA from the very beginning anyway, before I discovered these letters. […] Whether you are an employer or a friend or a wife or a mother or a facilitator or a coach, you apply it. I apply it.	Olivia, an Australian living in Kenya and owning two businesses there
From expert to human: sharing builds trust	By putting them as simple victims of a situation, they are becoming second victims of our approach.	Joao, a Mozambique project manager

To continue, find out how people from many different fields experience SALT:

STORY	EXPERIENCE	AUTHOR
The way we are	When there is an experience of a community, then there is no more YOU and ME, there is just a WE and then action is immediate.	Kokila, community worker from Singapore
Creating space	The biggest change you can make is to offer space.	Ranga, Dy director from Singapore
The SALT way of life	To let your guard down and be vulnerable & grateful, that’s SALT.	Stella, community worker from Singapore
Honouring life	As it seems that the complete society is in burnout, SALT with its deep respect towards life, people and nature, offers a helpful hand.	Patricia, no title, just passion
Relaxed way of life	Beautiful things may arise when you just open up and take life easy and take connections easy. Being in a mindset of wonder, feeling the urge to connect – that’s the SALT way.	Jan, a Belgian coach/consultant/poet/photographer
It’s in us	It’s not that people resist change. They resist change that comes from outside of them. People inspire themselves from the inside. It’s the invitation to be authentic, take off the mask and providing a safe space to do that.	Anita, a German living in Belgium and working as a coach and consultant
The power of many	There’s nobody that can come from the outside to solve your problems. You have so many strengths. You can solve your own problems. We need not have a lot of money to really work in the field. You know what, all they require is some time to come together, share experiences, learn from eachother.	Anthony, a social worker from India
Go for the uncomfortable dream	We should not be shy of dreaming. Always go for the uncomfortable and the unachievable dream. In that unexpected gap between what you thought you should be looking for and what they wanted to share – there the real knowledge lies.	Rafique, an Indian doctor, who owns a care home for senior citizens
Small sparks	Everybody has their share of stress in life and if you learn how to manage that, you can give more back to the society.	Geerish, a Mauritian marketing manager and social activist
Building bridges	SALT emerged out of me, it was always inside.	Sohail, sociologist from Pakistan
Sharing – Knowledge Exchange	It changed my relationships with people, especially with my friends because we now discuss more about our dreams, our emotions, what we didn’t do before and we are much closer because of that…I feel we understand eachother better.	Aurélie, a master student of Public Health
Encouraging conditions for development	From the first meeting, the [Constellation] coaches created the conditions for us to live the A of appreciation, the L of listening, of link … SALT is a constructive approach that contributes to the development of each and everyone … Facilitators and Malagasy communities are on their way to ownership of the approach in Madagascar.	Santatra,(in French), a facilitator from Madagascar
A holistic approach	HIV is not isolated and we cannot address HIV without addressing other issues that affect us. […] SALT and communitylifecompetence contributed to communities using their strength to address common concerns.	Autry, an agriculturist from Guyan
