The 4th preparation meeting for seminar “Architecture of Youth Participation”

Saturday 13:00 we met and the 1st things that we discussed was that - we have to do something about the methods that we want to use, cause till now all the sessions are based on brainstorming, clustering, naming - this is too much the same. We have to to think of another solution to create a little bit of dynamic to the facilitation session.

We went thorough the result of yesterdays meeting once again and this time we united too things: Factors and levels of Youth Participation with Clarifying concepts. The reason of taking this decision was simply the limited time what we have in the seminar, so we had to prioritize and exclude some elements form the program. This is always so hard, when you think, you just simply wonder, how to do it, cause all is united. All plays the role in the entire process.

This meeting made extremely clear two thing: 1st we have to test the session designs in practice between us and 2nd we have to structure the design on other facilitation methods, not mainly Technology of Participation.

After this two decisions we established the 1st draft of agenda and estimated the time for each session. The meeting ended with clear idea that we have to rethink the sessions once again and tomorrow we have to meet for discussing and testing design.
