| Abstract: |
The NAVIGATOR® programme was initiated by Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA) in response to two major concerns:
• The rapid expansion of the South Australian wine industry, occurring as a result of an increased demand for Australian wines, which applied pressure to the Governments limited resources. • The South Australian government wanted to move away from the notion that research, extension, education and training were separate activities with discrete outputs and move towards building community capacity and developing leadership among wine grape producers. Program aims: To develop a programme which allows people to learn how to learn, rather than the extension of any information or knowledge. This is to be achieved by: • Stimulating cultural change in order to build human and social capital, leading to continued learning and development of producer groups, and ultimately the ‘empowerment’ and increased self-reliance of participants. • To foster an environment for leadership development in order to build community capacity. Impacts to Date: Participant groups were shown to: - Have improved confidence and self-reliance. - Shift in how information is approached. - Shift in who they approach for information. - Beginning of an appreciation that information is not knowledge. - Extend their networks. |
