CONSULTATION MINUTES MR. LELAND DELA CRUZ
URBAN FARMING & COMMUNITY NUTRITION 1. I suggest you do it in an urban poor community. Can you? Do you have the exposure to that kind of environment? The people who need farming do not have the space, and do not live in the safest of places 2. It’s hunger you’re addressing after all. Innovate OTHER ways by which you can address. But this is not your organization’s competency. 3. The two-way part is something interesting but it’s something I do not think AIESEC has the competency to do. (Take note, you are international not a feed the hungry type of organization). 4. However, the feasibility of this project is in question. a. Realistically speaking you have not been exposed to such communities to the extent that you would bring people to stay there teach them to farm b. Consider the fact that they lack space, sunlight and security. Just think of the hanging plants they’ll be putting up… 5. This is not an AIESEC expertise. (I repeat) 6. Consider having a comparative advantage to your network. Utilize your network for something else. 7. Addressing goals is good but you have to consider the implications and the feasibility. 8. Again, I stress the fact that you have a global network you can take advantage of for other things. This project has so much to be questioned on regarding feasibility in the framework. 9. Impact may not be enough because feasibility is again not there. a. Long-term b. Market c. Feasibility are all in question for this project.
EDUCATION 1. 2. 3. 4.
Huwag na. It’s issue based but what more can you add? This is not a core competency of AIESEC. Bottom line, it has nothing to do with being AIESEC! You may be going for community development programs but story telling, tutorials? I’d rethink that. a. Financial literacy is something you should do IF and only IF you have the market b. Really? Story telling? You can be innovative here; story telling is something that does not help long-term. c. Education is something you can innovate on but I will not exactly suggest this for AIESEC. d. Perhaps disaster response but that’s a different kind of education. Or life skills training. 5. Think of long term results for this one. Yes it’s education…what now?

HIV / AIDS 1. Easiest to do. This is just raising awareness. 2. It will be hard but that’s the challenge. 3. The less people talk about it the more noise you have to create! 4. It’s executable. 5. The challenge is getting the schools but that’s just it. 6. Get partners. The Philippines has organizations that you can approach. 7. Work around it, get certifications! 8. This is an important issue. 9. A project about HIV is socially relevant if that’s what you’re aiming for. 10. You know what, since AIESEC is international work on tourism. That’s your competency. Use your international relations to your advantage. 11. Kat did this right? Start from what she’s started. Continue. 12. Speaking of socially relevant and development, do a tourism project!
TOURISM Tourism 1. You can welcome so many organizations like JAICA, British Council and USAID. 2. They’ll be willing to send people here. 3. Tap international agencies/offices. 4. Get tourism to leverage youth into the Philippines 5. You want a global community development project, get tourism. That develops our nation. People coming in here for a project 6. AIESEC should focus on bringing people here for something appealing. 7. Community development then make them come here to tour but let them do things but do not execute the tourism idea. 8. Tap your core 9. Think development tourism 10. This is will definitely work. 11. This is your comparative advantage 12. This is a market that you have and make use of. 13. Innovate on tourism, this will help AIESEC, a lot, I tell you. 14. You can even innovate on what kind of tourism project so you can customize it into what AIESEC is aiming for. The Global Community Development Program. 15. Take note, (in class), we said that for every 1 tourism 4 jobs are created… 16. DEVELOP THIS IDEA.

Useless. Take it from what’s of importance to you. You’re not the target audience… Where’s the role YOU play? You’re not the target audience, so what now? It would be nice if it’s solar but since it’s Aboitiz, wind mills? Tapos..? Think about these things: a. Who’s listening? b. What can they do? c. What’s the action afterward? i. Danger here is that it’s all execution but no long term effect. ii. It’s also something being run by someone else completely. There’s a danger there.
“GENERAL PRESCRIPTIONS” • Work on your core competencies • Don’t force a subject into your project. • Objectively evaluate the feasibility vs. necessity
• Innovate AIESEC (a lot of room to grow) • Be realistic. • Long term social relevance vs. clichéd social issue based projects • Use your global network to your advantage. • Don’t forgot competencies when you are “developing” or “growing”. • Ground ideas in reality and in working frameworks (if available) • Always innovate .
• TALK TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
• BE REALISTIC. Mr. Leland’s final word: Good luck AIESEC J

MR. LARRY COOLEY To make up for the lack of proper consultation with Doctor Porio, I have included notes from the discussion forums with Mr. Lawrence Cooley, President of Management Systems International, on Development Management and scaling up projects.
Begin with an issue, then find an approach and then find cases or models that will help you execute your project. Bring yourself to address the issues that need to be addressed... When you talk development, identify what issue you need to address and then analyze how you will tackle that specific issue. The Philippines is living in an exciting time, you have so much to change—politically and socially. You can have Pilot, Policy, Demonstration, Capacity-building and servicedelivery projects.
When you think of a project, always give space for innovation. That’s a sign that your project will not last short term but can expand its reach and go beyond its initial timeline—gain sustainability. The best ideas come from the youth. One laptop per child, microfinance initiatives came from students like you in university. Your issue can be anything. Just ensure that the three factors— issue, approach and room for innovation—needed to run your project.
Capitalize on the opportunities. It’s the youth who can change things nowadays. –Larry Cooley. 6
People listen to the youth more nowadays. Grab that opportunity. Pounce on it! Social media is there to utilize. So many venues to create awareness.

SYNTHESIS FROM CONSULTATIONS
Socially relevant projects begin with understanding the need and identifying an approach. That being said, it will be implemented that the projects run with an issue in mind. (In the case of eXplore, it can only be run with the idea of developmental tourism or perhaps eco-tourism). These issue-based projects will keep in mind society and the term Global Community Development Program.
Innovating and developing projects. Current projects have so much room to expand and grow. For instance, LEGACY (as an education project) can expand. Perhaps AIESEC AdMU is not the best for English Literacy training but we can gear towards another kind of education—disaster awareness and response (relevant to the climate change issue Dr. Porio presented) or perhaps life-skills training—if not, perhaps challenging a different kind of youth—the disabled you perhaps? The local committee does not have to create from scratch. We could innovate what we already have—make LEGACY an umbrella project.
Expanding. Explore and CODE RED may expand its reach to Cebu. Other projects could reach out to more local communities, universities and NGOs.
Changing based on feasibility. Questions may be raised on project feasibility. That gives cue to “twist” it around. If not urban farming in urban poor communities perhaps urban farming in social development institutions or orphanages as alternative/additional source of food.
