Participative Strategic Planningmaking the path while walking it…
The basics: • Open process: reflection -praxis - reflection • Theoretical framework, referential framework, theological foundations. • Methodological base • Key methods
Open Process: reflection - praxis - reflection • We shouldn’t be afraid of an open process. We should be willing to change, and to listen. • This hermeneutic spiral allows us to reflect using the Bible and church documents, and to put them into practice; it modifies us as we modify our reality.
Referential framework, Theological foundations • Understanding reality. Values of dignity and equality. Respect and value for difference, based on the order for humility within the community (Mark 10:43-45)
Construction of a collective sense of community – “A new community of followers beginning with the perspective of the cross” • Relationships of equality, as in sharing the table: “igalitarianism in which spiritual and material goods are shared.” • Commitment.
Methodological bases • Active protagonism of groups as drivers of process. • Specific graduality for processes of solutions for basic needs. Step by step. • Parallelism and simultaneity of planning activities, with one predominating (diagnostic, programming, execution and evaluation) • Working to solve basici needs implies an interdisciplinary approach.
Key Methods: • Work agreements. • Construction of feelings. • Working within structures and leadership, power relationships. • Interacting for real participation and information for everyone. • Accompaniment, facilitation.
Techniques that favor participation • A sense of propriety / ownership • Development of adequate means of communication from different disciplines • Efficacy in problem-solving. • Maintaining spontaneous and traditional techniques in the community.
