I dont know wheather you have read phils blog about what we had planned to do but we have finished our introduction and i think it would be good if everyone see's it to see if there could be anything added or changed and to make sure everthing ties in.

health and safety training

2005-11-14T09:22:00.000Z

I found the health and safety training very boring in the first day it was too much information and i found it very difficult. But on the second day it was much better as what we had learnt in the first day was put in to practice, we went down to the local security place on walters road to do a health and safety check the trainer said we couldn't do it in the scvs as its health and safety is very good . I didn't realise how much i had really learnt when putting in to practice. I think it was very good in the end as i had learnt alot on health and safety and i know i will defently need it now and in the future.

monotoring and evaluation

2005-11-08T16:04:00.000Z

This post is for julia. Before i start i do think you be a good mother christmas. The monotoring and evaluation course was quite intresting because i didnt realise how much you have to do to monitor and evaulate.
i now know what you have to assess. Some of them are, whether your project has used its resource effectively, what are the strengths and weaknesess of the project, whether your project actually benefits the people who need it, whether your project is sustainable. These are some questions that might come out so i now know what to look for. I found the course very intresting actually as i previous said i didnt realise how much is included in monotoring and evaluating so in the future this will help as i will now what to expect and i now how to go about to see if targets were met and to see if we have reached our aim and how many objectives were included to get to the aim.

cultural diversity

2005-11-04T09:14:00.000Z

I really enjoyed the training yesturday my words was "it was brilliant". I dont know about the rest of you but different people coming in to explain about there religion culture etc was excellent i found out alot about every thing really !!!. I really enjoyed the talk of the women about her jewish religion she was off her head. I found out the ins and outs about different culture religion and i thought it was fantastic i now know the truth. I was suprised about how many lanuages the indian people have 27 it is shocking. I couldn't believe the man Dev one of the speakers went out with a friend and they were having a drink his friend asked why he laughing with the rest of the indians and he couldnt understand what they were saying so that proves how many lanuages there is. I would like to have more training and find out in alot more detail about cultural diversity

Training/ local democracy week

2005-11-01T11:59:00.000Z

Hello every one i have really enjoyed the training so far but i dont know about you lot i thought refugee awareness and introduction to marketing could have been done in alot more detail. I have been here nearly five weeks and some of the training i have done has started to come in to practice already. What i mean by this is the way i approach things and the way i handle a situation that accurs outside work aswell. Also, the way my attuide towards people is. I think i can approach people much better now without being offensive.

Hello again in the same blog i really enjoyed the local democracy week. I enjoyed the quiz, i really enjoyed the way the quiz was set out it reminded me of the tv show "who wants to be a millionnaire". I thought the venue was excellent but the IT crew could have been more organised. The way the room was set out was amazing with all the different information and flags and also the flags with the names of the countries on the tables. I still think we should have won though especially with phil on our team. We will win next time if there is a next time hopefully because i really enjoyed it.!!!!
