MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop is designed to assist existing and newly establishing groups
to develop good governance and decision making processes essential to the
growth of a healthy group culture and happy human relations, vital to the
long term success of any community project.

The following Goals and Outcomes are envisaged:
• Look at the difference between Government and Governance and existing
Organisational Structures – what works, what doesn't

• Use and explore a Tool box full of Creative Decision Making Processes
and try some of them out so people have new ideas to take back to their
groups

• Highlight and experiment with Creative Processes that help groups have
Discussions, Meetings, Explore Information and Generate Ideas, Multiply
Energy, Gather Information and have fun at the same time

• Learn effective approaches to communication and how to address conflict
in groups, particularly within the consensus model

• Gain facilitation skills to bring about group alignment based on common
values, and develop action plans from this

• Feel Empowered in Groups - Understand what structures and elements work
best for this

• Build Networks, Support Groups, Buddy Systems and Mentoring around
'Problem Solving', Group Work and Community Building
• Model Creative Decision Making and Discussions
• Connect and share in an Interactive, Dynamic Group Environment

• Apply the Principles and Ethics of Permaculture to Group Structure and
Function
