Vision, Commitment and Action (VCA) Workshop

  • P Project/Program

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

The VCA Workshop combines leadership training (which enables a community to create its own vision for the future) with a public commitment to realize that vision and the identification of a clear set of actions necessary to achieve the vision. Each participant is asked to develop a specific action plan for a project that she or he will achieve independently within three months, using her or his initiative, skills and family resources. The VCA Workshop is repeated in a succession of trainings throughout the course of a community’s development. With each workshop, new members of the community are engaged, the vision for the community is further developed and new openings for action are identified.
