Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
| Purpose: | To select the key variables of the conflict system (the conflict's driving forces) |
| Participants: | 8 to about 20 |
| Time: | This activity can be carried out in 60 min. (or even less). However, there might be very interesting discussions emerging - so go with the flow! |
| Materials: | White board or flipchart Marker pens Post-its Pens |
| Process: | 1. Write the forces for conflict/against peace (result of step 1) on a separate flip chart or white board. As not all members of the group were involved in the force field analysis, leave some room for questions and possible additions. 2. Now distribute 5 post-its to each participants and ask them to go through the list 5 min. in silence and then chose the 5 forces that they find most important. They shall also reflect on why they think that these are the most important forces. 3. Review the results of voting: Isolate the forces that clearly got the most votes on a separate flip chart. There might be some forces that have quite a few numbers of votes, but not as many as the leading ones. For these cases, discuss with the group which ones shall be selected. Try to keep the total number of forces to under 10 (5-6 seems ideal). 4. Now go through the list of selected key driving forces and ask:
