The grant group has a new direction that I think we are all excited about. After having a few meetings, our group has come to the consensus that we will write a grant for the next ARE 420/520 class to help with the costs of running workshops. I feel good about this direction because I feel more informed about our class, and more confident in being able to articulate what we need, versus articulating the needs of BICAS. It makes a big difference being part of the group we are writing for instead of being outsiders. Working through the Research part of the CRAFT method, by interviewing people and finding out what is important to them, in preparation for writing the grant is an important step, and writing for the class will allow us to do this part. It’s neat to be able to have a dialogue with our fellow classmates, and I look forward to hearing about what everyone has experienced and what they feel would make the workshops even more successful for the next class.
The grant group has planned to ask the other groups for feedback on Thursday, and we have scheduled a meeting for next Tuesday to continue writing the grant to reflect our new goals.
