SEAPCP has been advocating, and practising community organising for the past 20 years since its inception in 1991. This grassroots network consists of 20 or so solid community organising movements in the Asian region working closely with grassroots communities such as the indigenous peoples, fisherfolks, farmers, urban poor, women, children and others.
This May 2011, 
for the first time in the history of SEAPCP, we will bring together 22 senior partners and the more recent partners of the SEAPCP Community Organising Network (CON) to reflect on our organising work in the light of the current global trends. The participants representing 15 local grassroots movements from 10 countries will identify strategic approaches for local context as well as on a regional level. The network will try to address urgent issues faced by our respective countries and in the Asian region.
We will also take into account the regional and global political economic, social & cultural trends to see how the SEAPCP CON should align itself with the changing trends in the practice and promotion of community organizing.
The 5-da
y event will also serve to monitor and evaluate the tools and mechanisms used by SEAPCP and its network to attain human rights, democracy and justice in our respective countries and the Asian region.
Note: The event is not open for observers
