Day 2: exploring new ways of work

 Today involved the exploration of many new ways and new experiences in Asia Pacific Region.

WAGGGS CEO Sarah Nancollas talked to all of the conference delegates through the new WAGGGS strategic planning process.

It aims to coordinate and streamline the direction of the movement, together with global action plans and regional business plans.

Conference delegates also worked in groups to contribute new ideas to Asia Pacific action plans for 2020 and 2021.
 
It was inspiring to see how the young women at the conference embraced their new opportunity to engage in regional governance by proposing two motions for consideration.

An hour of speed dating was, for many, a new way to speak in depth with candidates for the Regional Committee ahead of the election on Friday.  And the GGA delegation introduced many delegates to the unique concept of a chatterbox by way of campaigning for the GGA candidate, Bronwyn Hughes.

Bronwyn also started a new journey herself as a silver level Friend of Asia Pacific WAGGGS and received her pin at a ceremony this evening.

And, when an emergency song was called for to keep everyone entertained, Australia was on hand to teach the conference delegates and FAPW members all  a new song - Cuddly Koalas!
