Flash News issue #5 [2006 07 13]

"The BUS" helped us understand the differences between messages we’d like to send for various people. And that we should find the most relevant information for each member of society: bishop, 15-teen boy, school headmaster, mother of teenage daughter, etc. After, we prepared flipcharts with different targets (media, non-organized youth, university, schools, local community as well). But even if the targets were different, messages sometimes was too similar:

º Who we are
º What are we doing
º What are goals
º Where we are
º Where are we going

So, we had the target, found out the tools, chose the most sufficient message. But who, who does help us to spread our ideas & values among the potential members? Do you know this open-minded, unselfish, fair, hard-working people? Aaaa? Yes, of course, this is VOLUNTEERS.

An important idea that was discussed is WHO IS VOLUNTEER? What is clear definition of volunteer? Question is still open…
