Activity: How did you see success?This is a featured page

This activity can be used to familiarise participants with indicator thinking and explore how participants have in their peacebuilding experience seen whether change occured. The activity can show participants that even though they have not developed indicators, they have still relied on implicit "signals of change".

Purpose:To familiarise participants with indicator thinking
To explore how participants relied on implicit signals of change in their peacebuilding experience
Participants:4 to many

Time: 25 to 40 min.

Materials:Notebooks
Pens
Process:1. Ask participants to pair up (or with more participants in small groups of 3).

2. Assign the task: Pairs are asked to conduct 1:1 interviews, for about 20 min. One participant takes on the role of interviewer, the other the role of the interviewee. The interviewer asks his/her partner to briefly tell him very briefly about a project/initiative that his/her organisation successfully completed in the past year. Then the interviewer asks:
  • Throughout project implementation what did you see that told you that the project was on the right track?
  • With hindsight, what signals you that the project was successful?
When listening to the interviewee, the interviewer should note "signals of change", i.e. as concrete as possible events and signs that change had occured.

3. In plenary, collect these signals of change from interviewers and write them down on flipcharts. Later in the process, you cantry to refer back to the signals that were collected.
Note:


Handout(s): This activity could take place before the content of indicators is introduced so that participants are open in their thinking.
