Inspiring Action Competence

 

This workshop allows participants to develop a strategy for applying action competence methods within their own educational context.

The methodology creates a dialogue with community representatives, generates clear deliverable actions that benefit the stakeholders, provides a basis for reconciling different reviews, and enables the education of community representatives concerning:

· The limits set by stakeholders, whilst providing ideas for the decision-making body to consider.

· The ability to discuss and reach consensus about how different communities can be involved and represented.

· The relative uses of a resource so that any one group ‘shouting the loudest’ does not outweigh those using the resource in a quiet way.

Outputs for young people

Action competence provides real and tangible outputs for young people, providing opportunities for them to define research and refine their understanding of a particular issue or subject.  Reports from completed projects show that the action competence method can enable young people to engage wider communities in initial consultations about the use of a resource.

· Develop skills and understanding of how to actively participate in solving local problems.

· Contribute to policy debates.

· Become engaged in local, national or international issues.

· Make their voice heard about specific issues to decision-making groups.

· Learn skills relevant to future employment.
