The benefits of project-based group work in helping people to realize their potential have long been recognized. What has been lacking, however, is a methodology to enhance and improve the process. This manual, which sets out the basic concepts of project-based group work and gives guidelines on how to manage different elements of the process, seeks to fill this gap. Written primarily for those involved with youths, the manual is not intended to be prescriptive but rather to act as a foundation from which group facilitators can develop their own style and techniques.
Facilitating; planning to facilitate; co-operation/teamwork; a value base; contracts and agreements; clarifying roles; clarifying aims; meetings; awkward members; intervention; maintaining interest; dropping a project; recognition and transferring of skills; introducing groups; ideas generation; assessing strengths and weaknesses; seeking information and advice; making decisions; planning time and energy; carrying out agreed responsibilities; dealing with people in power and authority; negotiation skills; problem solving; resolving conflicts; coping with stress and tension; evaluating your own performance; communication; finishing off a project.
Throughout, the authors usefully focus on skills that often go unnoticed within youth work. They highlight the importance of the processes that occur during the projects, such as the empowerment of young people to achieve specific tasks, and the dialogue that might develop between individuals, rather than the more obvious success of the projects themselves, a useful text.
