Annual General Meeting Group Discussion Notes
 
The theme of the 2011 NCC Annual General Meeting was "Celebrating Groups”.
 
As part of this theme the meeting began with a group activity where participants split into smaller groups and discussed one of 5 group related questions, recording their conversations on butcher’s paper.
Each of the five groups then shared their thoughts with the whole group, while the activity facilitator, Tina Lathouras enhanced the discussion by providing a brief outline of relevant developmental theory around groups.
The conversation generally supported the theory and their was general agreement that groups provide an extremely important opportunity for both individuals and the broader community to grow stronger. To download the notes from this activity click here.
