The letter is written on a poster and then hanged on the wall. After the posters are ready the trainer explains the principles for a constructive feed-back and gives all participants post-it paper to write comments about the way the letter / petition was written. The trainer then reads the post-its and draws conclusions together with the participants. Additionally, the participants can be asked on the written evaluation form at the end of the day what were the things learned from this exercise.

Instructions

After several community problems were identified, the trainer asks the small groups to choose one problem they would like to work on. The issue shall be agreed by all small group members and most important, it shall be a realistic and achievable one so they can get results in few weeks time. Then the working sheet is introduced by the trainer with an example that is familiar to the participants (e.g. organising a party or painting a children playground). The small group is given 30 min time to plan the activity with their own contributions and commitments. The outcome shall be presented then on a large flipchart sheet for the plenary. After each presentation from the small group is made, the other members are encourage to contribute with improvements and constructive criticism of the presented plans.



Analysis

The analysis of the exercise can be done in a plenary or using written evaluation sheets at the end of the session. Suggested questions to trigger insights: - What are the advantages of planning - How does the planning of the responsibilities among the members of the group influences the team work?



Suggestion for the trainer

It is important to be present in the discussion of each small group during the choosing of the topic – to ensure the selection of an issue the group can realistically achieve. However, if the trainer disagree with a topic, the worries shall be expressed with questions to raise insights rather than direct criticism (e.g. How long do you thing your group would need for this? How will you raise the necessary resources for this action? etc)
