Mosaic is pleased to announce its 2004 summer workshops on: 1)
Results-based Management, Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology;
2) Participatory Development: Concepts, Tools and Application in PRA/PLA
Methods; and 3) Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation. Please
share this announcement with your colleagues, field staff, or post in a
visible space for others to see.<br><br>
This is our 8th season of organizing workshops for development activists,
Government, donors, NGOs and Community-based Organizations seeking to
transform the development agenda so that the voices of the poor are
reflected in development programmes that are more responsive,
results-oriented, participatory and inclusive. <br><br>
The best champions of Mosaic workshops are its participants and here is
what they have had to say about Mosaic workshops in 2003:<br><br>
"If you are looking for a life changing six-day experience that you
will use in development work where ever you go, this is
it!".<br><br>
" I like the fact that you can apply the tools you have learned
during the community assignment."<br><br>
"My experience was very rich and I felt like the organizers made
every detail-from residential setting, group dynamics to activities in
the workshop setting--have a purpose in helping me learn and grow in
doing development work. I would strongly suggest this PM&E
workshop to others because of: 1) community assignment; 2) experienced
facilitators; 3) clear expertise of facilitators in participatory
approaches and realities of field work; 4) attracts dedicated
participants who also make the experience worthwhile; and 5) Ottawa is a
cool place."<br><br>
"If you are trying to the see world not only through numbers and
data, that's the right place to go".<br><br>
Join us in being part of a challenging, intensive and unforgettable
experience that will stretch your limits and challenge you in unexpected
ways at both a personal and professional level. Share your
experiences with colleagues from around the world representing a broad
range of organizations: NGOs, Government, donors, community-based
organizations, and the private sector. <br><br>
Our programme for July of 2004 is as follows:<br><br>
Results-based Management, Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space
Technology<br>
July 12-16, 2004<br><br>
This new workshop introduces participants to Results-based Management,
Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology. Demonstrate the
effectiveness of your programmes with Results-based Management.
Master what we mean by results, develop programme/organizational plans
which are results-based and design performance monitoring systems based
on indicators and participatory methods. You will learn how to
apply gender analysis to your work. You will also expand your
repertoire of tools to also learn about Appreciative Inquiry and
Open Space and how they can be applied to your organization, programme
and/or project. These approaches are increasingly being used around
the world to tap into new ways to do our work in ways that are more
results-oriented, more appreciative and less problem-focused and more
self-organized vs top down.<br><br>
Participatory Development Concepts, Tools and Application in PLA/PRA
Methods<br>
July 19-24, 2004<br><br>
The PD workshop focuses on core participatory concepts, tools and their
application. This is an intensive six-day workshops 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, the Application of Participation to Project
Design, Monitoring and Evaluation, PLA interventions that are Gender
Sensitive, 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. <br><br>
Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation<br>
July 26-31, 2004<br><br>
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.

All workshops organized by Mosaic are sensitive to issues of gender,
ethnicity, race, class and sexuality and how these can influence outcomes
and how we see the world if they are absent from our assumptions,
direct participation, our analysis and conclusions. <br><br>
