Plan

Overview

Planning is the most important part of any VIA project. It involves the following :

Step 1 - Brainstorm Project

Identify the theme for your community project.

Use the following guiding questions as you review the list:

- What are the needs of your community?

- Which of the issues/areas are you personally passionate about?

- Do you have other members with the same passion?

- How & why will this project impact you and group members?

Step 2 - Brainstorm Activities

Decide on at least THREE activities that would help create an impact in your community , such as:

        • House visits and giving out pamphlets

        • Road shows or events jointly organised with Community Centres

        • Sharing of relevant messages at Kindergartens, elder care centres, or migrant worker dormitories

        • Performances held at a mall

        • Game / info booths at a mall

Step 3 - Forming Committees

Form the following basic committees:

        • Chairman & Vice-chairman

        • IT/Video/Photography Committee

        • Presentation Committee

        • Activities Committee

        • Logistics Committee

        • Treasurer & Welfare Committee

Adapt this list to fit your group profile. If you do not fully understand the roles above, do refer to Learn.

Step 4 - Decide Date, Venue, Logistics and Assigned Responsibilities & Timeline

Consult your teacher officer/adviser and decide the following :

        • When is the best date & time for your project?

        • Who is your target audience?

        • Will your selected venue be spacious enough for the target audience?

        • How will your programme be like?

When completing your timeline:

        • What are the important milestones/tasks/goals ?

        • How much time is required to perform each task?

        • Who has the best abilities to perform these tasks?

Do ensure that your TO is kept up to date on all matters.
