Meeting format goals

  • create welcoming environment
  • make sure that we can develop ideas further and that not one person dominates discussion
  • 1-1 meetings miss the part where you create ideas from ideas
  • fully separate idea creation (all ideas are great!) from idea filtering/selection (both can go into different meetings)
  • Facilitator should focus on facilitating (otherwise facilitator opinion can become group opinions)

Tools

  • https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVN2zliSI=/
  • visually separate areas
  • concept board (sticky notes require to be space efficient and allow to create visual clusters and moving); Miro can be the tool
  • make questions smaller
  • start with everybody taking notes by themselves ("me"; for ourselves)
  • second step: formalize and place on concept board ("we"; randomized 1-1 pairs)
  • third step: we review and discuss as a group ("us")
    • make sure that the facilitator understood what the group wanted
  • time-keeping is important (keep things short and on time)
  • divergence, then convergence
  • consider voting

Questions

  • "Needs": In your current position, what do you need in order to be able to contribute to the project 1 year from now? (in terms of work time, financing, governance, administration, accounting, leadership)
  • "Wants" What do you wish from the project in terms of lesson portfolio, format, and collaboration in order to still be around 1 year from now?

Timeline

  • 5 min: Welcome and get everybody on the concept board
  • 5 min: Everyone adds themselves to the board, tries to navigate, tries to create new sticky notes
  • 10 min: "me" time (divergence)
  • 20 min: "we" time
  • 10 min: "us" time (convergence)
  • 5 min: voting
  • 5 min: conclusions and next steps
