Activity: Mapping the relations
Alternative 1
Suitable if the group is relatively homogenous with regards to participants origin and/or participants are familiar with a specific conflict context.
Alternative 2
Works better if the group is more heterogenous.
Suitable if the group is relatively homogenous with regards to participants origin and/or participants are familiar with a specific conflict context.
| Purpose: | To help participants to understand the relational dimension of change To apply the concept to the analysis of a conflict |
| Participants: | 4 to 20 |
| Time: | 90 min. |
| Materials: | White board White board pens (in different colours) |
| Process: | 1. Introduce the relational dimension of change to participants. You can do this in an interactive way, for instance by having participants brainstorm their ideas on communication patterns, cooperation and confrontation, decision-making and conflict-handling mechanisms. This should take no more than 20 min. 2. In a second step, the relations in a conflict will be mapped on the white board, with you facilitating the mapping exercise. Choose a conflict that all group members are familiar with. 3. Start by identifying the major parties in the relationship. Let the group name them and help you to organise them visually on the white board. 4. Now ask participants to describe how these parties/actors relate to each other:

| Note: | The relational dimension normally refers to a more local setting. The focus lays on actual relations. For the purpose of this exercise it can however also be applied to a more national level - in particular if not all participants come from the same context. |

| Participants: | 4 to 20 |
| Time: | 90 min. |
| Materials: | Flipcharts Marker Pens in |
| Process: | 1. Introduce the relational dimension of change to participants. You can do this in an interactive way, for instance by having participants brainstorm their ideas on communication patterns, cooperation and confrontation, decision-making and conflict-handling mechanisms. This should take no more than 20 min. 2. Organise participants in small groups of 3 to 4 participants. The groups are assigned to map the relationships in a conflict. The group members will deal with a case of conflict from the experience of one of their group members who volunteers (because he has an interesting case to share). The other group members assume the role of "mappers". The groups should start by identifying the major parties in the relationship. Let the volunteer name them and organise them together with his fellow group members on a flip chart. 3. Then the groups can use the following questions for their mapping:
5. Let the groups present their map of relationships in plenary. This should be done by one of the "mappers". 6. If time allows, a group discussion could deal with questions such as:
