Abstract

This practice manual was developed in 2009 as a guide as to how the Push Play Neighbourhood (PPN) Coordinators in the Rodney District implemented the Push Play Neighbourhood Project within their communities and their key learnings. This is designed to inform others who are implementing similar projects and will be particularly useful for PPN Coordinators. Take from it what is useful and can be applied to your situation.

This project used a community development model which meant different approaches and methods were used with success by the PPN coordinators due to the different communities as well as the skills/experience/personality of the PPN coordinators. The PPN coordinators needed to be flexible, adaptable and responsive to the community they were targeting. Consequently different approaches are documented in this practice manual in order to demonstrate options taken which may be helpful. It is recommended that users of this manual are flexible in their approach to individual communities and be open to an approach that fits best with that community.
