Back to Workshop

Ivar, Trond and Alex introduced and started workshop to Streetlight. Workshop is a series of meetings emphasizing interaction and exchange of information among usually small number of participants. And it was the best and most constructive method in motivating the community to be connected on the project. Through series of workshops the community creates their own initiative, plans, process and actions for the project. It was also an effective way for the community in breaking down barriers among community members and improves its communication towards each other. This was also an opportunity for the individual member of the community to be trained, learned new knowledge and skills, team-building and organize themselves as a community.

Workshops with the community was used during the entire process of making the New Study Center. And I am glad to continue the workshop when Streetlight started again the construction of the building.


Meeting with the mothers on how we can continue the workshop. They are looking at the construction while the fathers are working.
