2011 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
