NEWSLETTER Apr 2019

#034 We a re t h re e m o n t h s a w ay f ro m comple ng another stage of the glorious history of District 4420. We have accomplished a record number of successful projects. But we s ll have a lot of firewood to burn and make it possible for many to enjoy our legacy through humanitarian projects. Tools such as Solidarity Insurance and Ci zen Companies remain available and should be prospected the whole year. Opportuni es arise all the me.

The two projects together represent a significant por on of our funding and it costs us nothing. And as we are talking about projects, we are realizing that more and more, more companions are perfected in their elabora on, given the quan ty and the quality of those that have been presented. I do not think there is any lack of inspira on. And enchantment!

Come together! Carlos Torci GD 2018-19 D 4420 (SP - ABCDMR - Baixada San sta)

FOCUS GROUPS

Rotary Founda

on Mission

Empower Rotarians to promote goodwill, peace, and world understanding through support for health improvement, educa on, and an -poverty ini a ves.

What is the Citizen Company?

I M P O R TA N T D AT E S

A focus group is a format used to determine a group's preferences and opinions on a par cular issue or idea. This format can help determine how stakeholders feel that community problems should be addressed. Focus grouping requires careful planning and a skilled facilitator to guide the debate.

Most focus groups consist of six to 12 people. Par cipants respond to a variety of open-ended ques ons on different community issues. As a group, dialogue tends to evolve and parcipants complement each other's responses. An effec ve focus group will look more like a collabora ve conversa on than a debate. It is more appropriate to lead a focus group in a private and comfortable environment with a facilitator and someone to record par cipants' responses.
