SALT workshop

The team has been in a two and half day workshop on the SALT approach and behaviour of a Facilitation Team; but also an opportunity for them to interact with their Officers before they actually begin to share with their own team-mates, friends on what has transpired in the last month and half. It was a quick application of lessons learnt. Its been an inspiring time especially for me, to see the team feeling confident and facilitating the process.

The participants included Salvation Army Officers from different Corps in two Districts in the Command. Health workers from Salvation Army hospital who are also part of the Commanding Facilitation Team. Projects personnel's. Local Facilitation Teams from the community the team has been working in. The young people who have been living together for six weeks. Cadets from the Training College of TSA and the Training Principle e.t.c a great mix of participation to scale the understanding and application of Integrated Mission.

There were very deep reflections emerging from the participants; well as thoughts for application and restructuring ways of working in Corps and in the institutions.

The facilitation of the process was shared between the CFT and the team that had been immersed for six weeks in the community. There have been outstanding outcomes /reflections from the participants. The CFT also feeling strengthened now that there are more people with an understanding of the approach. People who also believe that there is strength in people and communities to respond.

For further details of outcomes of the process - a Trip report is available from TSA Bangaldesh Command.
