What this module is about

Process diagram module 3

In module 2, we introduced the idea that the CLCP is a like a journey. In the first step, the community gets to know each other and to understand why it is making the journey. In this step in the process, the community describes its destination.

One reason to think about a destination is to give us confidence that we are moving in the right direction. When we are busy, it is easy to lose sight of our destination.

Another reason is to motivate ourselves. During this journey there will be times when we feel discouraged. Our destination helps us to keep going at these times.

The tool that we use to define our destination is called 'Building the dream'. During this step, the community describes a world where it deals with the challenge as part of its day-to-day activity. It is not a world where everything is perfect, but one where the community is competent to deal with all aspects of the challenge.

The community then goes on to discuss the skills that it will need to reach the dream and the skills (or practices) that it will need to remain in that happy state.

Our plan is that at this point in the module a short video clip will show 2 coaches their experiences relevant to this module.
