FD Task Teams

One of the main focuses of Fellowship Development at EDM is to have Task Teams to visit communities and do workshops. Human Ressource Pool (HRP) members, who declared themselves to be available to assist and support FDC, can be chosen for a Task Team.

Primarily we choose HRP members who are located close to the requested FD, have the experience to facilitate the workshops and/or have certain skills which might be needed.

The Task Team Process

PLANNING

Task Team request must be sent to FDC for approval.

BUDGETING

Task Team members will send their budget to FDC.

CARRYING OUT

Task Team members facilitate workshops, presentations, Q&A.

REPORTING

Task Team members will present a report to the following EDM.

(The Task Team Guidelines are currently under revision)
