Topics and Skills HIGHLIGHTS

Developing Facilitation Skills Using the Institute of Cultural Affairs ToP ® methods, campaign managers learned 3 different techniques for facilitation: 1.The Kaleidescope method (or “Image Shift”) 2.The Focused Conversation Method 3.The Consensus Workshop Method
7
Kaleidescope Design Campaign managers learned how to incorporate a multitude of strategies to design an effective stakeholder meeting. The goal is to build a meeting agenda that achieves the desired goals, with a particular interest in fostering inclusive participation, a shared vision, and collective action.

Focused Conversation In the Focused Conversation Method Session, campaign managers developed their skills in structuring and facilitating concise conversations around a specific topic. The method is intended to guide a group of people to participate with objectivity, reflection, interpretation, and ultimately with decisions and action.

Consensus Workshop In the Consensus Workshop Method, campaign managers developed their capacity to guide a big group to generate information to collectively analyze and identify solutions to a given problem. The process entails 5 steps: Contextualizing Brainstorming Clustering Naming Resolving
10
The Concept Model The Concept Model uses a participatory approach to create a visual model that will ultimately reveal the collective perception of an area’s conservation targets, direct threats, and contributing factors. The concept model is a core tool used in Pride stakeholder meetings.
11
The campaign managers organized a Stakeholder Meeting for their Mini-Campaign. The Concept Model (bottom left picture) tells the story of the threats to the Georgetown campus. Using a process that will be taught in week five, campaign managers will determine the conservation target and primary threat of their Mini-Campaign.
