Project Plan & facilitating

Didn't get to blog for the last few days...busy with project plan. Each of us has to come out with a project to crete employment for PWDs in our country. On tuesday we had the second day of project plan workshop by Ms Sarajean. She went through the details of how to write a project plan from background to goals to implementation to budget to sales. A lot of things. we were all very "stone" by the end of the day with so much info buzzing in our heads! But it was good to learn as most of us have to write a lot of proposal to ask for funds.

Next day we continue the facilitating workshop. Each of us has to take turns facilitating a session. I choose to go first (take the pressure off earlier!) My topic was "How to support/communicate" persons with learning disabilities". Did a couple of role play... even took Indra to the toilet! hahaha Managed to get response from the participants...phew! It was good exercise. Might be able to use it for training in Malaysia.

Next was Nerand. His topic was how to create awareness for people with intellectual disabilities.

And after him is Zhou. Zhou's topic was interesting though we were confuse initially. He makes us look at our schedule and reflect back on what we have learned so far.

The next day was Kiran & Indra's turn. Here you are seeing Kiran torturing Nerand! hahaha.. no just doing a role play on how does it feel to be a PWDs so he's tying up Nerand's hands & feets and ask him to try eating and drinking!

Aiyoo... hard eh?

After Kiran was Indra's turn. He's topic was the perspective of people towards PWDs. After each of our facilitating we will have a feedback session. It was interesting to see our different styles in facilitating...There's no right or wrong answers....also be participatory and allow participants to give out ideas .....And Ikezumi-san told us one very important word when doing facilitation..."feedback"

I enjoyed his sessions very much...... very open, very different, alwiz challenging you to think in a different way or perspective.
