[Springboard] Anybody remember how to do Keystone planning??

[Lawrence Philbrook]

This is from the IERD on Golden Pathways DVD

With respect, Larry

Keystones Workshop

Rational Objective: To discern the keystones in the several programme 
areas that are critical to the success of local rural development

Existential Aim: To give delegates a sense of responsibility for 
preparing the whole group for the field work experience.

Keystones Plenary Rational Objective: To provide a screen through which 
to examine the projects to be visited in the field work; to discern 
possible future directions in global local rural development.

Existential Aim: To release delegates to see that a focused approach to 
complexity is essential in rural strategy.
