Notes
Manuela went to bukudomira village to teach about what is communication, communications puzzles and the types of communications skills. This session is useful as an introduction to the ideas of good communication. After this session, the group can move on to exercise that practice the good communication skill they have discussed. Objective By the end of the this lesson, participants will be able to list barriers to good communication. Participants will be able to identify good communication skills Overview When Manuela reached the village she did not find any person at the meeting place but she found when they have put the chairs. Manuela sat for some minutes and the participants started to come. After that the meeting started and it was opened by a woman called Hadija after that Manuela told the participants what they were going to learn, but previously she left them with the home work about communication skills, Manuela asked the community members if they have searched for that only three people did that home work, Manuela asked to share their ideas for example one said that is the understanding between people, the other person said that it means talking and listening with one another then the third person said that communication when a woman and a man comes round table to decide for their family development. Manuela appreciated the members for being cooperative. After that, Manuela introduced the lesson to the participants officially, she said communication is the sending and receiving of messages with an effective feed back, she went on and said that there are many types of communication , she asked the participants that, what are the different types of communication, they said radio, Tv, news papers and among others. Manuela went on and said that in life good communication behavior is needed at home and in the community so that development and good understanding is seen in the community, on mentioning that she asked if they have good communication in their society or in their homes. They responded that some how they are not perfect they still have a gap. Reactions Some of the community members reacted that their women sometimes don’t speak to them properly and also the women said that it’s cut to way their husbands approach them and the children too. Manuela advised the both parties to be good communicator to one another so that have happily family, Manuela urged the parents to learn how to speak with their children so they can grow up as well behaved children in the society. Conclusion Manuela ended by advising the participants to avoid Volgograd wards because when children listen they also practice which is bad, she even told them to continue informing the others to for lessons next time.
