Activities
The activities are suggestions to further explore the
issues raised by voluntary matters 3 in group
discussions or training sessions.
You may choose to do the activities with other people
from your organisation or with people
from a range of organisations. Contact your local Volunteer
Bureau or Council for Voluntary Service
to see if there is already a group forum in your area.
If not, set one up!
Watching the Working It Out TV programme
or video in a group will raise a number of points, below
are other suggestions to get more out of a group session.
Discuss
Spend half an hour as a group discussing the possible
benefits that can come out of conflict.
Spend twenty minutes as a group discussing what is
in place in your organisations to protect people from
both non-physical bullying and physical
violence that may arise from conflict.
Try
Spend 30 minutes in pairs reviewing a conflict
in your organisation. How well was it managed?
Could it have been better handled? What are the lessons
for the future?
Spend 30 minutes in pairs reflecting on how you
personally feel in situations where people
disagree and tempers become frayed. How might these
feelings help or hinder you in managing
conflict between others?
