57We have learned
- Why it is imperative to surmount borders
- We live dynamically, in contexts, not in bubbles
or silos - Like peers, we influence one another
- Like people, as groups we need support
- It is our responsibility to ourselves and others.
Together we are stronger.
Conclusion
58We have learned
- How borders present barriers to success
- Governments have boundaries.
- Funding often limited by boundaries
- Data is generally presented by boundaries
- Policies, laws and program coverage is often
limited by boundaries.
Conclusion
59We have learned
- Ways technology obstructs and facilitates our
surmounting borders
- Creates buttresses, invisible walls, limits
- We purchase data by boundaries
- We describe phenomenon by boundary
- Technology allows us to see relationships
- Technology allows us to study dynamics
Conclusion
60We have learned
- That we need to acknowledge our power to
influence others and be responsible
- HOW?
- Use GIS to study broader environment
- Note risk factors that are higher in your area
- ID and study intervening variables
- Note policies, practices and programs that
contribute to progress or problems - Brainstorm together how to coordinate
Conclusion
61We have learned
- That we need to acknowledge our neighbors
influence over us and work together
- HOW TO DO THIS Some ideas
- Share information online (IPRC County Profiles)
- Share at conferences
- RADAR Network, SALIS, regional groups
- Obtain data about your neighbors
- Share findings
Conclusion
