Instructions

  • The whole group makes on the paperboard a list of all the information and data obtained until now. Remember: in this list, there should be data from FOIA as well as information obtained from neighbours, newspapers, local experts, etc. Make sure that everyone has access to this information and data ( you can write it all on the paperboard, or you can create an online archive open to every participant) (20-30 min)
  • Explain what is a monitoring report and which are the final aims of this tool: that is checking the work done so far by the group (Is it complete? Is it missing something?), but also creating a tool to disseminate your work (e.g. in a public event) (15 min)
    • Divide into two groups, according to the preferences of the participants:
  • One is going to focus on the aesthetic aspect of the monitoring report (graphics, how to make it more attractive for dissemination, etc). This can be done by digital graphic design software if the participants are familiar with it and have access to it, or it can be done offline by painting, drawing, decoupage technique, etc.
  • The other group will focus on the content (how to make it more synthetic, but still clear). This can be done preferably by an online shared document, but it can be done offline on an A4 paper.
    • Each group will make the best monitoring report they can, taking into consideration both aspects (aesthetic and synthetic ones) (30 min) A little tip: you can create a Goal Card (like in many board games) to assign the two different tasks to the groups!
  • Each group will present its own monitoring report to the other group (5 min for each group)
  • Feedback and collective discussion about the strengths and the weaknesses of the report presented (10 min)
  • Ask the participants to work together in plenary to put together the two aspects in creating the best monitoring report (which has to be, in the end, complete, clear, synthetic, and aesthetically attractive) (30 min)
