This guide was born from CRS’ experience in supporting the Central African Republic (CAR) during the 2013 social crisis and civil strife. The resulting methodology powerfully combines CRS’ 3Bs (Binding, Bonding and Bridging) with the 4Ds of Appreciate Inquiry (Discover, Dream, Design and Deliver) to bring participants through a transformative workshop experience culminating in active cooperation and collaboration across divides. Based on lessons learned applying the 3Bs/4Ds in dozens of countries, this second edition of The Ties that Bind provides step-by-step guidance for a proven process to strengthen both horizonal and vertical social cohesion in communities and societies; in the workplace, and in other settings. Each module offers detailed guidance on objectives, timing, steps, tools and facilitation tips.
