Activity Partners

Another way of keeping costs down is to form a temporary partnership with others who also do community or environment activities

This could be another Wildlife Club group, a local community group, nature centre or NGO in your area.

When partnering with another group or organization it is very important that you clearly outline which parts of the activity are your responsibility and which parts are theirs. A lot of planning and communication is required when working with a activity partner. Activity partners will also often request to have their logo displayed along side the Wildlife Clubs logo. This is definitely encouraged as it not only promotes your group but also the fact that you can work along side others in a productive and cooperative way.

 

1. Information gathering activities focus on increasing the knowledge base of your group members. By carrying out observations of animals, the environment and their community they increase their own awareness of the issues in their local area. These activities are an essential start point for any further activities as knowledge of an issue is always required before you can make a positive and constructive difference.

2. Information exchange activities focus on sharing the knowledge your group members have gained with others. This can mean sharing information within your own group, with other Wildlife Clubs, or within your local community. These activities are important when raising awareness of an issue and of your clubs’ activities. They can play a key role in future involvement of the community and acceptance of planned service activities in your local area.

3. Service learning activities focus on actively improving problems that your group identified in earlier information gathering activities. These activities can be done on a small scale, such as just in your home or school, or on the larger scale of the whole community. Through the experiences gained by being involved in these activities group members develop valuable organization and leadership skills.

4. Awareness events are similar to information exchange activities. These are often based on a certain theme, such as one of the world awareness days, and are held as an activity that includes the community involvement or a celebration event. A certain amount of teamwork and organizational skills on behalf of the group members is necessary before a group attempts a large community based event.
