After the analysis of Ife’s work on Community Work Skills I have chosen to discuss and address three core community skills. ...
Working with the media
Media influences and shapes public life and personal experience. ... The media therefore, has all the powers to discredit the community worker and others.
There are very few media outlets owned and run by community and these rarely offer any hope of getting the point across to a large population. ... During this process
I spoke to
*an advertising agent (negotiating and bargaining and what services were offered)
*local news papers, community radio, shop fronts, flyers and generally talking to the community in general. ...
Ife suggests that the individual should be articulate, experienced, informed and assertive representative, with a capacity to listen, interpret, and understand the needs of the community. ...
Some examples of advocates are:
Lawyers, Unions, Community workers. ...
Personal communication
Communication is an essential part of ones ability to express and share information. ...
Ife describes communication as an important part of the community development. He explains this by adding that the range of people community worker must communicate is extremely broad, and that an effective community worker must be able to communicate with all of them e. ...
A good community worker must be able to effectively communicate with all people. ... You already have the attributes; you just need to learn how to direct them” (Sharon Johnson p: 38, 2001)
Whilst working in Bankstown Handicapped Children Centre I was prompted to use my own personal skills for vocational program research.
