Exposure
Visit Program in Thailand
Since
October 2nd-November 8th,
2001, two staff from LSPL was sent to visit some
POs and NGOs to Thailand in the scheme of Exposure
Program. The program was supported by Terre
des Hommes Germany Southeast Asia Regional
Coordination, Bangkok. The staff both
are field organizer. And they visited four
provinces; Chiang Mai (NDF), Chiang Rai (ACED),
Lampang (CEF), and Bangkok (CLIST).
This
visit was meant as a comparison study to have a
direct view on organizing processes to have been
done and been being done by the Non Governmental
Organization in Thailand as well as seeing from a
close on how the POs themselves develop their
group by empowering their own resources to be a
strength that is able to support their needs
economically and
educational sector and its advocacy. It is
intentionally and hoped the result from the
program will affect towards their personal
development, working ability and experiences, so
that the experiences can be applied to add
qualities in organizing processes, particularly to
create such brilliant ideas of strengthening the
established groups.
During
the activity period, aside visiting to some POs
and NGOs, they also attended a series of training
on gender
held by Center for
Labour Information Service and Training (CLIST)
and Regional Workshop
on women workers in informal sector
conducted by Committee
for Asian Women (CAW).
The
program is not only to enhance the insights for
the organizers, to construct and strengthen the
networks condition with other institutions at
international level both in similar concerns and
other issues
