Activity: How would you see...?This is a featured page



Purpose:To apply the content on indicator development for concepts strongly related to peacebuilding
Participants:6 to many (with more than 15 more terms need to be provided)

Time: 30-35 min.

Materials:Flipchart papers
Marker pens (several colours, sufficient number)
Space in the training venue
Process:1. Write on prepared flipcharts that have the question "How would you see...? in big letters the terms:
  • Trust between two communities
  • Inter-faith tolerance in public institutions
  • Increased capacity in conflict analysis
  • Decreased violence
Note: You can choose other terms, that fit best with the profile and interests of your group.

2. Hang the flipcharts on the wall in the room and distribute a marker pen to each of the participants. Ask participants to walk the room and write as many immediate ideas for signals of change for each of the terms. This should take about 10 min.

3. When the plenary is fully assembled, have a look at the flipcharts and pick the one with the most and the one with the fewest ideas. Ask the group:
  • What made it easy to find ideas for signals of change here, and what made it more difficult there?
  • When you think about what you have heard about indicators earlier, do you think that your ideas here provide a good starting point for indicator development?
Note:
This activity probably works best after introducing content.
