SESSION D.3: EXERCISE

EFFECTIVE COMMITTEES OF MANAGEMENT

Each person examines the slips of paper with an aspect of management in a voluntary organisation displayed on them.

Each person selects a topic they believe is the most important.

Break into groups of two and work for ten minutes on the two selected topics. Discuss each in turn and attempt to agree on the importance or otherwise of each topic.

Remember, the point of this exercise is to evaluate the relative merits of different aspects of running a community radio station, not to form a pact between the two of you to support each other's 'topic' at all costs.

Part of the positive dynamic of 'community' is for people to be themselves and to listen to other points of view and them to support those proposed actions that they feel will most benefit the project.

At the facilitators call, join a larger group discussing the topics, or categories, you chose for further elaboration.

After a further twenty minutes reconvene for reports from the various groups and general discussion.

Agree on priorities and write up.

It may also be useful to review those topics left out of the selection process to see if some of those should be added to the priority list.
