2009 Partners in Transformation

Based on experience of the workshops we offer and some we have been exposed to, we felt that there was a need for a rethink on the approaches used to reach people with truly developmental results. The feeling was that as much as the conventional way of doing workshops if carefully packaged and applied can yield good results, there is however a feeling that people are experiencing workshop fatigue and with no results to show. DDP’s idea was to employ more of the Action Learning or participatory strategies to cover the diverse range of communities as effectively as we possibly can, in the process rope in officials or bureaucrats without trivializing the process. As evidenced in the pictures that follow, most sessions were hilarious, allowing individualism while delineating hierarchies and powers. Most notable was the ability for each individual to draw own lessons and take with the value they found worth keeping in a non threatening way.
