Occupation Based Community Development Framework


Questions

Critical questions for developing reasoning for and in practice in Phase II:

  1. What point of intervention would be most effective in bringing about change?
  2. Who would the primary beneficiaries of the campaign be?
  3. Once you have selected an occupational focus and supporting theories, consider which part of the theory (/ies) you are focusing on. Discuss this with peers and identify what additional theory you may require.
  4. What strategies will you apply to effect your campaign?
  5. Which theories are your strategies based on and how do these link with the theoretical approach which you have adopted to the intervention?
  6. How will your intervention confront/challenge oppressive power relationships? Select strategies and designs that enable this.
  7. Which networks could you draw on to mobilise the resources necessary for the campaign?
  8. How is your campaign embedded within the context?
  9. What mechanism can you put in place that sustains the longevity of the outcomes?
  10. b) Consider how your identity as a member of a prestigious university and profession influence your relationships and what privileges you may have.
  11. c) What strategies may you have to apply to prepare and allow yourself to engage authentically and equally in this context.
  12. What theories, beliefs, assumptions and experiences inform your conceptualization of the possibilities for change? Are there theoretical perspectives or alternate assumptions that you have not considered?
  13. What skills will you draw on or develop in order to successfully contribute in this context? What partnerships could you form to assist you with this process?
