The building of a culture of inclusion could involve trying to give citizens [[convivial tools]]. But providing such means is less important than focusing on the ends. The aim should be to develop new cultural attitudes and behaviours that are more supportive to the ordinary members of the group. It is well known however that cultural habits are difficult to change.

The habitual orientation of exclusionist groups or organisations should be inversed. Normally the rank-and-file give their attention and support to the elite leadership, and the latter proceeds to do great things in the name of the others. Turning this around means that the leadership that spontaneously emerges (the elite) should turn its attention and support to the rank-and-file, and helps the ordinary members to do things themselves.
