Participatory Development: Concepts, Tools and Application in PLA/PRA Methods
Ottawa, Canada

The PD workshop focuses on core participatory concepts, tools and their
application. This is an intensive six-day practical and experiential
workshop set in the community to maximize learning, group interaction and
networking.  Topics include: The Origins of Participatory Development,
Learning and Application of PRA/PLA tools (ranking, venn diagram, mapping,
ranking, semi-structured interviewing, trend analysis, gender analysis and
others methods such as appreciative inquiry), the Application of
Participation to
Project Design, Monitoring and Evaluation, Developing Effective
Facilitation Skills, Building Action Plans and Team-Building.  Two-day
community assignments proposed by community-based organizations in the
Ottawa region will allow participants to apply tools learned in the
workshop to real-life situations. This is also a great opportunity to
network with other practitioners, NGOs, donors, and action researchers from
all over the world.

Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation
Ottawa, Canada
July 23-28, 2001 or September 3-8, 2001

Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM & E) involves a different
approach to project monitoring and evaluation by involving local people,
project stakeholders, and development agencies deciding together about how
to measure results and what actions should follow once this information has
been collected and analyzed.  This intensive six day experiential workshop
is practically focused with daily excursions into the community and a
three-day community assignment.  Topics covered at
the workshop include: Origins of PM & E, Skills and Attributes of a PM & E
facilitator, Learning PM & E Tools, Designing a Monitoring and Evaluation
Framework and Actions Plan and much more.  A
Project/Organization Clinic will include projects from participant's
workplace and provide a rich environment for feedback.

Advanced Facilitator's Workshop
Retreat setting outside of Ottawa

This workshop is an opportunity for experienced Facilitator's to share
their experiences, tools and methods with other facilitators.
Facilitator's from various facilitation disciplines such as PLA methods,
ToP methods, VIPP, Appreciative Inquiry, Iap2 and Open Space are encouraged
to attend this unique workshop.  This workshop will have no preset agenda
or presentations.  An Open Space Approach will be used.  The first day,
participant facilitators will shape the agenda based on their expectations
and the tools and methods other participant facilitators have to offer.
