MWVS Community Development Program. Project Management Class

To melt this thick ice and rebuild an atmosphere of teamwork,Project Teams need to apply the blowtorch of icebreakers."Human spider web": In this game, people gather in circles of about six or seven. Everyone takes his or her right hand and grabs the right hand of someone who is approximately opposite to them, and then does the same with left hands





When everyone's arms are intertwined, the group must figure out a way to untangle without letting go of any links. This activity helps participants exercise their team-building muscles and gets them thinking in a cooperative mindset.

     
                                                                                                                                                                              Today we practissed the Human Spider web ice breaker with the project Team workers.We also touched base on what are the values of a great leader andgave a few examples. See more...

MWVS Community Development Program. IT Course

As part of the Woodridge outreach and Community service program, the aim was to introduce a computer 
literacy course which could run parallel to the ABET course. While these two courses are not directly linked to
one another, they are in fact complementing each other. 
For this purpose we have registered to use the e-Learner course which was offered initially to members of the
Woodridge ground/general staff but also rolled out to the surrounding community and later might include
some of the underprivileged schools. 
Three members from the outside community sponsored by the MWVS Community Development Program were supposed to be
involved with the course but at present only two members namely Vuyokazi McClean and Nombulelo Gotyana
are attending. .






The accredited e-Learner course is made up of seven units and is available at three levels culminating in a
Platinum certificate. The course covers 7 units and is aimed at students of all ages who require the grounding
and basics of ICT skills before moving on to mastering the ICDL Core certification. The e-Learner units are
aligned to those which one would encounter in the ICDL Core thereby acting as a perfect introduction and
progressive stepping-stone to the ICDL Core. Units in the e-Learner Platinum course are as follows: 

1. I T Basics 
2. Files & Folders 
3. Drawing 
4. Word Processing 
5. Spreadsheets 
                                                 6. Presentations 
                                                 7. Web Browsing & E mail 
The e-Learner lessons not only teach ICT skills but also integrate life-skill content thereby ensuring that lessons
are interesting and relevant and students remain interested and motivated no matter how old. See more...

MWVS Community Development Program.Project Management Course

The training programme conducted by George Meko commenced on Tuesday 06 October 2015. All 15 Project Team members were present. Day 1 had 100% attendance, while Day 2 of 13 October had 3 members absent due to work commitments.





The programme was set to assist community leaders to have a clear perspective and perception about their own personalities, including their strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs and motivation. On the other hand they were thought through practical exercises how to understand others, how others perceive them, their attitude and response towards others. See more...
