Mission 3

Task – to take the section’s programme ideas to a programme planning meeting.

To be included

  • Ask the young people in the section for ideas for the programme
  • Attendance and contribution at a meeting (eg programme planning, District or County meeting, leaders’ meeting)

Suggestions

  • Attend a section planning meeting
  • Plan and run a meeting (for example, section planning forum)
  • Decide who should attend a meeting and invite them
  • Organise and run a forum for the young people in your section, taking their ideas and suggestions and giving them to the Section Leader
  • Organising for someone to take notes/minutes/points of action
  • Plan and run the Sixers/PLs’ Forums for two terms, and ensure that the young people in the section understand how they can input their ideas into the section programme
  • Any other ideas, subject to agreement with the ESL (YL) and SL

Using your training
Things to think about:

  • What is your role in the meeting? (Module G and H)
  • How are you going to ask the young people for their ideas? (Module I and E)
  • How are you going to feed back the information? (Module I)
  • The logistics of the meeting: is the proposed date/location convenient for the majority of people? (Module G and H)

Evaluation
To be discussed with either ESL (YL), SL or YLU:

  • What have I done?
  • Why did I do it?
  • What did I want to achieve?
  • What did the section members get from it?
  • What did I learn from it?
  • What would I do differently next time?
  • How do I feel about it now?
