Instructions

  • Through an individual reflection, ask participants to write down a personal list of issues that they consider necessary to monitor (15 min)
  • Divide the participants into groups, where each participant reads and explains their list. After everyone has presented their own list, they can discuss as a group the proposed themes and modify/negotiate them to obtain a common topic (30 min)
  • Each group prepares a poster on which they motivate their choice with the following points:
  • a. How did you originate this topic?
    b. What has driven your attention to it?
    c. Has someone in the group had previous knowledge or experience about the topic?
  • In a circle, each group presents the poster with the theme chosen, leaving the possibility to each member of the group to give a personal reason for that choice, if different from the previous ones. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes (30-40 min)
  • N.B.: In case two or more groups have produced a similar theme, the facilitator may propose to merge the two proposals.
  • Then, participants are invited to discuss and exchange ideas to clarify the issues that can be raised. This can be done in an informal and relaxed atmosphere with, for example, background music or during a coffee break (30 min)
  • Each participant chooses a maximum of three themes by marking the poster: the theme with the most votes will automatically be the most representative of the group’s priority (5 min)

POSSIBILE VARIATION

DIGITAL TOOLS

Digital tools you can consider:
  • If you are working online use a video conferencing tool like Zoom, or any other platform that supports online meetings and also breakout rooms.
  • Collaborative document tools like Miro can be used for the individual presentation of the list in the group.
  • Online collaborative whiteboard platforms like Miro or Canva can be used to create the poster with the chosen theme.
  • Software like PINGO can then be used for stage 4 where participants have to position themselves in front of a poster or as a stand-in for online learning, as participants can vote for the poster they are most interested in.
