From the start, our opinion was that for the successful
implementation of the project it is essential to build upon
the ideas of the community members and in the same time to
raise the awareness of the whole community with regards to
the project. In this respect the Environmental Partnership
Foundation together with the Milvus Group organized a series
of events, called the “Neaua – workshop for the
Future”. To ensure the success of the process we involved
two professional facilitators in the team.
The first step was to evaluate the opinion of the community
regarding the main problems, main strengths and development
opportunities. These questions were answered both on the level
of their own village as well as on the level of the whole
commune. The opinion poll was carried out and the preliminary
analysis was undertaken by 2-3 previously trained villagers
in each village, since we considered they will receive more
honest answers. In total 130 persons from the 5 villages were
questioned.
As a second step, a two day workshop was held. The invited
opinion leaders from each village started to build up the
future vision, based on the results of the opinion poll.
Short reports are available from the municipalities
of Rigmani, Sansimon,
Neaua, Ghinesti,
and Vadas. During the two days, we
identified the main development streamlines. These ideas were
developed by the participants of the workshop, and as a result
a list of priorities and wishes was born.
In the last phase we organized a public debate of the vision.
In the commune every household received a written invitation
and as a result approximately 80 persons. During the public
debate new ideas were risen and new potential participants
in the implementation were identified.
After the future vision training, the most active participants
took part on a study trip in Hungary between 10 and 17 September
2005.
Sixteen villagers came to Hungary assisted by a coordinator
from Milvus Group and CEEWEB. They saw positive examples of
sustainable rural development and also assisted on presentations
on sustainable development, so they have learned the basics
of sustainability.
