The NZ dairy sector is one of the healthiest in the world - at the same time keeping this edge means acting on a number of issues, as outlined in the Strategy for New Zealand Dairy Farming, 2009-20.
From our 2010 Regional Workshops we learned that dairy women are interested in acting in the following areas:
Productivity and Education: we need to ensure dairy people, from farm workers to managers and owners receive the best training available.
- Where do you see yourself active?
- Are you at your best mentoring one on one or in group activities?
- What impact can you have, individually and as a group, on education and training?
- Which area would you like to make changes in?
- What would such change result in?
- What is your take on these issues?
- What have you already done in this domain?
- What do you intend doing in the future within your circles?
- What is your desired outcome for the actions you plan to take?
Digital story format
- Introducing yourself
- Introducing the topic/area you want to have impact in - and connect it to your past experience (for instance the lessons you have learned that you have listed in your preparation work)
- Describe your vision for the change
- Call for action: who do you want onboard and what can be possible together?
If you get the opportunioty to participate in this, go for it. It is a great activity and very thought provoking and motivating.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We do find, as we go through the South Island, in our April round of workshops that women do appreciate the time spent together reinforcing strength and building leadership capacity. Thanks to all our participants - you are awesome!!
