learned, literate and conscious. In the literary sensibility, both are likely to co-exist in a conscious and unconscious tension:”

“Models can be made from a wide variety of materials. They can be highly elaborate, aiming to be as realistic as possible, or simple and illustrative. The choice will depend on the purpose of the model and the resources and time available.

Models are often adaptable so that alternative proposals or options can easily be shown by moving parts around.

The construction of models is highly educational and enjoyable and is often done in groups as part of the planning and design process.”

“Models are one of the most effective tools for getting people involved in planning and design. They are particularly useful for generating interest, presenting ideas and helping people think in three dimensions.”

Citizens training : issues

• attendance– commitments, learning units, preferences

• clarity of expectation – real impact of programme real application– capacity building

• skills development– self diagnosis, flexibility

• linear approach less appropriate– audit-plan-deliver– relationship development

future directions

• flexible delivery– web-based materials– distance learning – joint / single group delivery – cross sectoral application

• accredited packages

• certificated learning
