-   A healthy society is one which strives to know, to think, to understand, to choose the best and then coordinates its resources to reach that which it has versioned.

-   Life is an opportunity to define values and facts: knowledge forms the basis for this decision. Each of the sciences and arts provide a part of this understanding; therefore the developing society is invited to confront problems by the use of knowledge. The local academies provide the social- academic structure for this understanding.

-  Project forms the main basis for motivating interaction and coordination.

Comprehensive presence of fields of knowledge

Sustainability of the environment depends on the sustainability of society, culture, technology and economy. The correct response to this complex situation depends on the active presence of the sciences and arts in joint action plans.
 

Thus the objective of sustainable local development provides the most creative arena in a joint mission for the presence of the branches of the sciences and arts. Due to this constructive presence of the branches of knowledge in the activities of surveying, designing and fulfilling project commitments, the consultant indirectly invests through the contract on the growth of the sciences and arts at project level without any incremental cost.

Education for change

Based on the contract development goals and Consultancy Management Development (C.M.D) commitments the consultant establishes a local consulting office run by members of the local society to be trained to solve their own problems by internal and external experts.

The study and solving of local problems is a continual process in which education becomes involved and through which it can take place.   

The opportunity to train the new professional members by the joint action of local indigenous intelligent and academic experts provides the trainee with a unique opportunity of transgenerational education, realized directly by this joint development commitment.

The courses are only offered on live subjects of value to the potentials of sustainable development in the affected area.

Sustainable development environment and livelihood is the result of implementing correct thought to current and on coming problems

Interaction of academic and indigenous knowledge
 

-  The consultant sets up his local office manned by associated local managers, technocrats, teachers, youth and women: members of the society. This group is trained and supported by external members so as to be able to act as local programmers and consultants on the main problems and solutions of their own region.

-   In order to survey local indigenous knowledge the local intelligent are approached, their methods and traditions recorded.

-   They are also linked to the academic professionals and local youth on joint project design aims at the local office. Thus a transfer and fusion of local and academic knowledge takes place at project level.

Workshop Education

The consultants local vocational educational system is financed by the contract budget and students are allowed to make use of it without any cash payments, instead they participate in equivalent pay - back programmed activities.
 

This interrelated method of research, consultancy and education aiming at development permits the formulization of a self - supported educational system, supported by the consultant's contract.

In order to maximize learning and minimize resource consumption the system emphasizes on self - managed group learning and workshop activity involved in the project at hand.

Project Oriented Education

The difficulties of vocational training and the lack of qualified professionals at local level has always been a prohibiting factor in local and regional development aims in our country.

The limitations of institutional education in our country calls for an ex - curriculum program to overcome the inherent limitations of the established educational system.

Our field and project based education has been developed to fulfill this need.  This educational system is based on "problem solving tasks" aiming at local development, thus encompassing the theoretical and the practical sides of training necessary for effective planning and realization of development goals.

The problems tackled by the local development office provides the basis of subjective activities of survey, research and project design through which participating students can find the opportunity to learn and the experts and researchers the opportunity to experience the application of theories and research proposals at field level.

Consultancy Management Development (C.M.D.)  Office Setup in Educational Institutes

Consultant sets up a development office in educational institutes.

The group provides educational institutes the opportunity of opening a joint consultancy office within the institute to provide the opportunity for staff and students to become involved in the application process of theoretical learning in the fields of local sustainable development.

Joint Research and Development units in production and service institutes

  After defining terms of contract between the management of the institute and the Misagh group, an internal joint R&D office is set up in which members of the institute are enrolled as active members of the consultant's group.

They are trained to fulfill efficiency and programmed development aims.

A continual exchange of field, theoretical and research experience takes place by the interaction of external expertise and internal members to be utilized by involved members for plant and departmental improvements.

This active learn, research, test and apply also provides the best opportunity for recruiting and training people for new jobs in an environment of a mutual endeavor for improvement by the practical & theoretical members involved.

The consultant Initiates Internal Vocational Training Systems

Thus providing a dynamic educational and training system with the minimum of artificial investment for its achievement. Allocated share of later incomes of trained recruits support the system

The Academies of Art and Sciences:

The local academies of arts and sciences are initiated by the consultant through contract commitments at project level.

All members of the local society without any limitation of age, sex or education can became members. Their membership can be individual, family or as groups. Through this membership they have the opportunity in a none-cash but through a pay back services commitment system to participate in any field of interest to them. In the academies activities include, use of technical libraries, self and group learning, modeling and project design, project execution and plant operation. Technical support and running costs of the system is provided by the consultant through the budget of the main contract and shareholding grants. This none- cash credit system permits all members of society even the poorest to take part.
 

None-Cash educational credit exchange:

 By creating a none-cash credit system based on activity pay back through the “H-Bank” account all members of society without any limitations of age-sex-education or social-economic status can participate in their requested courses without cash commitments.

Organizing Knowledge for Regional Development at Local Level:

Knowledge forms the initiative for change. The lack of relevant information at regional and local level acts as a strong restriction for bottom- up development. The group initiates an information and data bank at its local office, and makes available books, documents, maps, diagrams and also information links to external sources; thus permitting local access to a wide range of information banks. New project documents and data produced at local level are all saved at the local office and extracts are transferred to upper levels.

Local technical library

To strengthen the process the consultant sets up a local technical library covering subjects to be undertaken by the development plan, through which committed self managed learning will take place.

This local technical library and document center is available to members of the movement and to the local society as a whole on request.

It is backed up by a list of complimentary documents available at other libraries up to national level.

Document Organization for Dev. Decisions

Correct decision depends on the availability of appropriate knowledge and today this can only be achieved by an organized participatory action plan of those involved in the development process searching through existence knowledge, surveying and reporting indigenous knowledg and arranging the whole process as step stones of efficiency and development achievements for themselves and for others. The designed formats and guide lines provide the structure for the movement.
