- Description
- Summary Report on SADTU Organisation Building Workshop held on Friday 17 November - Bellville College of Education: There were approximately 40 participants representing the leadership of most SADTU branches in the Region. As per the programme, the purpose of the workshop was " to develop an organising and recruitment strategy with the aim of building capacity and to resuscitate union structures..." As with most strategy and organisational building attempts it is often difficult to ascertain what the organisational problems are which are within members/workshop participants own capabilities of solving. From the outset it is important to ensure the distinction between real organisational problems and perceived ones. Failure to ensure this would cause that the participants and the regional leadership could be found wanting, "barking up the wrong tree". It is for this reason that the opening exercise of the workshop was extremely usefull in ensuring an organisational assessment and isolating key problems. Participants were divided into five groups, A - E. Their task was to identify which animal most aptly represented SADTU, nationally and especially regionally. The groups were required to debate and reach concensus on the choice of animal and motivate fully. Participants tackled the task with enthusiasm, were very creative and seemed to enjoy the exercise. Groups were then to report back to a plenary session in the form of a drawing of their animals and a list of points motivating their choice. The idea was that the plenary session would debate the choices and try to reach concensus on the most representative animal.
