Planning and Conducting All Volunteer Conferences. Training for Development. Peace Corps Information Collection & Exchange Training Manual No. T-44.
Goodwin, Sarah Hall
This manual is intended to assist those Peace Corps field staff and volunteers who are considering or planning an all-volunteer conference (that is, an inservice event that is designed to provide personal, programmatic, and technical support to Peace Corps volunteers). The first chapter reviews current practices (including objectives, designs, and themes) in all-volunteer conferences throughout the Peace Corps. Chapter 2, which is devoted to the process of planning an all-volunteer conference, covers procedures for deciding to have a conference, organizing a conference committee, determining a conference's objectives and design, developing conference themes and an agenda, planning evaluation and follow-up activities, and taking care of all the logistical details involved. The third chapter discusses procedures for implementing conference plans; making a final check of committee responsibilities, the conference agenda, and conference facilities and arrangements; activating and monitoring the agenda; carrying out a conference evaluation; and conducting closure and follow-up activities. Appendixes include 15 sample session plans of five conference themes (volunteer support issues, host country political and development issues, program and training review, learning/sharing opportunities, and relationships and renewal); suggestions for planning recreational and social events; sample forms; and a conference planning checklist.
