Work shop for sharing experience
15/16 December
NAFSO Training center –Negombo
Work shop
was organized simultaneously the year end evaluation and planning meeting as a
part of that being collaborated district coordinators, volunteers and
community leaders who engage with the program in district level on 15/16 of
December 2012 at the NAFSO training center , Negombo. We had different
objectives to organize that Work shop
Such as
* Aware the community leaders.
* Sharing district experiences among community leaders.
Coordinators as well as volunteers on programs
* Compare the achievements between community leaders
and field staff, being built up the network and strengthened and make a stage
to show their skills.
This Work shop was
organized as an extension of the evaluation meeting because we wanted to
consider the views of community leaders about the programs as stakeholders and
external observers on programs in district level. There were community leaders
in Jaffna, Mannar, Batticaloa, Ampara and Trincomlee districts except the
coordinators and volunteers to the seminar.

We organized a common discussion and group work in
the first day of the work shop. There was a deep conversation about the impact
of the programs among the community leaders. They got the initiate to present
the achievements, consider the mistakes and plan the future activities as the
community leaders. That was a good combination between community leaders and
the field staff to assess the progress within the project year.
We planed a
session to educate the community leaders as well as other participants on LLRC
report as an essential issue because everyone had come from the Tamil speaking
society in the North and East. Another
session was conducted to provide the knowledge of capacity building and
collaboration leadership. That was full of games and practical activities.
Second day of the work shop, an exhibition was
organized by the participations to show the progress of the program within the
project period covering the all programs in district level. That was an excellent attempt of them with
limited resources to present their achievements. Different methods, strategies
and tools were used to success the exhibition. Very colorful stall was arranged by Mannar
team and one of the volunteers expressed their feelings with tears about the
land grabbing in Mullikulam. The group
of Jaffna presented the situation of IDP camps and people of them. Every group
worked hard to presents the existing situation related to the programs in
district level.
They organized the exhibition with cultural event and
there were warmly welcome the chief guests. Mr. Herman Kumara who is the
national convener of NAFSO, Mr. George and Anil came from the organization of
MIIARC, in India participated as invitees to open the exhibition. Some representatives of Sri Vimukthi Fish
Women Organization and Mr. Brito Fernando, director of the “Right to Life”

We got the proposals especially from community
leaders to prepare an action plan for next year as the final session of the
work shop.
