The preparatory period aims to

  • explore workshop participants’ thoughts, ideas, understanding
  • assemble themes
  • consider the manner & timing in which, during the project, they are to be explored.

Themes include

  • Initiative
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Management issues
  • Ownership
  • Learning organisation
  • Volunteers
  • Educational Techniques

The Workshop will provide encounters with examples of entrepreneurship:

  • How does a rural community survive?
  • What initiatives are necessary?
  • What skills and experience are required & available?

Colleagues on a previous Pathways’ workshop, working independently on a theme of enterprise, economy & culture,  produced a ‘snapshot report’ based on observations made during an investigative walk round the town.

The report (click here to view report-in-pictures) was, with other material presented to the Mayor and Town Council

 Some specific information regarding the Workshop

The workshop in Bishop’s Castle includes

Experiencing Volunteering

A key element in many Social Enterprises is, as evidenced from research in the UK, the use of volunteers. This aspect will feature in a practical manner during the workshop.

There are 3 venues arranged for meals:
Thursday Evening: The Boar’s Head

Friday:

The arrangements are complex as we have a very full day’s programme 
Traditional British Street-Food may feature
The evening is focused on managing the SEDETT sponsored Friday evening concert at the Three Tuns with

Sunday:

For those staying on Sunday evening – there is another concert in the Three Tuns – and it features ‘one of our own’: Bernard, a member of ‘The Men From Off’
There is a wonderful YouTube presentation of one of their most popular songs – which refers to an error made on an EU map in 2004, omitting Wales & resulting in Bishop’s Castle becoming a seaside town.
