Day one orientation

I attended my oreintation for the capacity internship today. The discussions regarding how best to exchange and translate knowledge with community partners was insightful. It was insightful in the sense that our discussions explored and touched on certain tensions and challenges-- the possibility to make mistakes as well as manage diverse views and people we may inteact and work with-- that could possibly arise in the course of our internship. What i got out of this discussion was not to reinvent the wheel but rather explore ways, in consultation with community partners, that maybe helpful to the community or organization in question, as there no custom made solutions to rural capacity building.
