         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purposes:</em> <em>Analyse the HN territories of intervention and livelihoods within in a participatory way, and from their complexity and identity</em> | a)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Participants were divided according to the neighborhoods in which they work.&nbsp; b)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Each group draws a map of the neighborhood, identifying within the area crucial spaces, facilities, cultural sites, etc., using different icons (provided), but also inventing new ones.&nbsp; c)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Groups were invited to visualize problematics, conflicts, assets, and identity features.&nbsp; d)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After finishing the map, groups were invited to analyze the characteristics and qualities of participation in the neighborhood. | There is an endless variety of critical mapping exercises. Sometimes it is more important to have more precise maps and you can choose to print them beforehand. In other occasions it can be more relevant to have a more symbolic mapping and you will ask participants to draw their livelihoods/territories according to what it means to them. For example…&nbsp; An interesting variety, particularly for audiences less experienced with participatory methods, or when there is less time, is using pre-established icons, which can be available as stickers. This variant has been developed by the Argentinian <a href="https://www.iconoclasistas.net/">Iconoclasistas</a>:&nbsp; The activity clearly showed how each group developed the methodology in different ways, using different materials, symbols and working methods. This would probably have been even more the case if community members would have participated, as they could have mobilized other locally rooted knowledges and symbolisms, giving deeper meaning to the territories based on their lived experiences. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>Understand how people are making sense of the value of participation</em> | After the mapping, we invited participants to team up in small groups and discuss: a)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What conditions allow good participation? b)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What are the mayor pitfalls for participation?&nbsp; In the plenary main ideas were presented, and they were categorized in a very initial way (due to lack of time) | In participatory workshops or processes, we built in different moments in which groups can make sense of the experience.&nbsp; Generally, this process is based on specific questions, and the categorization of the answers in different groups, to identify consensus, and open debates, which are then discussed in plenary sessions.&nbsp; We have the actual results and could categorize them if useful.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>Wheel of gratitude</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>Close the process and enable the group to express appreciation and feel appreciated.</em> | a)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;All participants are invited to stand in a circle, outwardly facing. They are invited to close their eyes.&nbsp; b)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A quarter of participants are invited to enter in the circle with the facilitator and to touch the participants standing in the circle, gently on their shoulder, whenever they identify them with the indication of the facilitator.&nbsp; c)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The facilitator then mentions different reasons why participants are grateful to other participants. For example…&nbsp; d)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After some minutes other participants are invited to enter in the circle, so that eventually all participants have been in the circle and in the center.&nbsp; e)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The facilitator can choose to do a final reflection on how participants experienced the dynamic, but also not to do that.&nbsp; | The reasons for gratitude can vary according to the group, but may include very simple things, like making you laugh, supporting others to understand their work, and deeper ones, like being a solidary person, or dedicating themselves to taking care of their families. The facilitator would include mentions to the shared mission, and to making us believe a better world is possible.&nbsp; The facilitator makes sure all people receive appreciation, doing it him/herself/themselves if he/she/they sees some participants are less engaged.&nbsp; The dynamics is gentle, but also really intense. It works very well in moments or groups where there are many emotions and intensity present, and particular difficulties in expressing appreciation.&nbsp; Before starting the dynamic the facilitator will explain participants that they will be touched on their shoulder (only that) and that they will have their eyes closed, so that they can decide if they want to participate. Those who do not want to participate are invited to remain in the room, so that they can still learn from the dynamic.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>To get a shared understanding of the final goal of any strategy to be defined</em> | The group was divided in two, one working on i) children with special needs; and the other on ii) access to equitable health care for the LGTBQI+ community.&nbsp; The first step in the process was the definition of the final change the group would like to see on the issue. This was written down in a couple of sentences. | The change we want to see can be best thought of in active terms: what do we want rights holders to be able to do, and what do different actors need to do, to make this possible.&nbsp; Ex.: children with special needs receive additional support that allows them to fully participate in the classroom&nbsp; Local government reserves specific funds to support this specific service. Schools hire additional specialized staff to support teachers, families and children with special needs.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Deconstructing the dominant narrative</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purposes:</em> <em>Understanding what ideas and mechanisms constitute the narrative that supports the status quo</em> | Secondly, we analyze the dominant narrative in society on the issues, by discussing and identifying five different elements of the narrative:&nbsp; <strong>Characters</strong> - Who are the victims, the villains, the heroes, the messengers? <strong>&nbsp;Images </strong>- What images show us the story rather than tell it? Metaphors? Symbols? <strong>&nbsp;Conflict </strong>- How is the problem framed? Between whom or between what does the conflict occur? <strong>&nbsp;Foreshadowing </strong>- How does the story show us the future? How will it be resolved?&nbsp; <strong>Assumptions </strong>- What are the underlying assumptions or beliefs that make it true? | This exercise is a lot harder than it seems, for two reasons: -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Many times we prefer to just reproduce in generic terms the grand ideas of the narrative, without critically studying its dimensions. For example, stating that inhequality is based on red lining. Although this is true, a deeper analysis can show us through what practices, ideas, symbols redlining is reproduced nowadays. -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Particularly, focusing on characters and images, or identifying the conflict is sometimes overstepped. This takes away the power of the process, as these dimensions are crucial to the campaign or narrative we might build. -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sometimes it is hard to take distance from our own ideas, to enter into the dominant narrative, particularly when we work with rights holders or affected communities. For example…In these cases support from facilitation is helpful.&nbsp; This exercise becomes more substantial when supported by some research, which can even be done in the workshop (for example by revising social networks or newspapers on the issue), or when affected communities participate in the workshop.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>Grounding our analysis in specific contexts </em>&nbsp;| We took a short moment to analyze what would be crucial audiences or actors if we wanted to change or displace this narrative&nbsp; Both groups opted for first enlisting all relevant audiences, and then choose one or two to focus on. | It is challenging to choose specific audiences. At this stage of the process, one can opt for choosing several possible audiences. But it is crucial to start the conversation on how our strategy will differ in different cases.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>Creating the elements of a counternarrative to the status quo</em> | Using the same elements of the dominant narrative, we try to identify and create the elements of what can be a counternarrative&nbsp; <strong>Characters</strong> - Who are the victims, the villains, the heroes, the messengers? <strong>&nbsp;Images </strong>- What images show us the story rather than tell it? Metaphors? Symbols? <strong>&nbsp;Conflict </strong>- How is the problem framed? Between whom or between what does the conflict occur? <strong>&nbsp;Foreshadowing </strong>- How does the story show us the future? How will it be resolved?&nbsp; <strong>Assumptions </strong>- What are the underlying assumptions or beliefs that make it true? | As in the analysis of the dominant narrative, it is really important participants not only come up with general ideas but to really engage with the elements of a narrative. For example..&nbsp; Sometimes participants already start coming up with concrete campaign ideas, slogans or tactics: if this happens you invite them to write them down,&nbsp; and post them on a parking lot.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

The rivers were shared in the small groups, after which they talked on what connects their experiences and what makes all of them unique.&nbsp; After, each group identified two questions they would like to answer today. | By first drawing a personal river, we would on the one hand make our individuality visible, and at the same time, see how our collective river was determined by our individual processes as well. It would also get people in the mood for the use of creative language to interrogate our experience deeper.</div>]]></description>

They used the moments and metaphors they had sent through previously by email, and integrated the reflections presented by other participants as well.&nbsp; In the plenary, we walked through the river from its start to finish by focusing on the most important moments. All participants presented several moments, and dialogue took place on them | The main challenge here is to manage time and depth of the conversation, which will depend on each group. In this case, a long time was provided to walk through the whole river collectively.</div>]]></description>

Participants were divided in groups of three people, and invited to take their coffee, and talk subsequently on three questions (introduced by the facilitator with time in between for their conversation):&nbsp; 1)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What do you think of this coffee? 2)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What role plays coffee in your life? 3)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What does this tell about who you are as a person? 4)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What does your conversation tell about how change occurs in life?&nbsp; After the small group conversation, a plenary conversation was held. &nbsp; | The exercise always leads us to deep conversations about our lives, about politics, etc. It shows how all the world system is present in its concrete dimensions.&nbsp;<br><br>------<br><br><br><strong>How Does Coffee Affect You?

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>The dynamic seeks to create awareness of inequality and discrimination related to our identities at the start of a process, so that these will be present in later activities and reflections</em> <strong><em>&nbsp;</em></strong>&nbsp;| The facilitation wrote down different specific identities on post its, some of them with a lot of privilege and status, and others clearly representing discriminated identities.&nbsp; All participants move around the space with their identity (they have not seen) written on the post it on their forehead, and react to the identities of other participants as society would respond through non-verbal expressions.&nbsp; After the theatrical dynamic, participants are asked to form a line from who feels the character with most power and privilege to the character with least.&nbsp; After, the facilitator invites participants to guess what their character is, and a collective reflection takes place on what we can learn from the exercise. &nbsp; | This exercise originally was developed by the Theatre of the Oppressed, and seeks to provoke reflection on inequality and discrimination, through a basic lived experience.&nbsp; The facilitation will usually give people different identities then their own, mixing genders, ethnicity and status, so that people might experience something different then their daily live experience. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>The dynamic creates a lived experience on collaboration, communication and team work, and as such allows a deep conversation on these issues.</em> <strong>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;| The facilitation organizes the space during a break leaving all chairs in a disorderly fashion around the room. Participants are invited to take a chair when they come back.&nbsp; There will be one remaining chair, where the facilitator -who assumes the presence of a zombie- will want to sit on. To make this impossible participants will move around according to their strategy.&nbsp; Participants will win if they will make it impossible for the zombie to sit during two minutes. As the zombie is slow, well coordinated movements from the group can make it impossible for him/her/they to take a seat. However, three rules make participants lives difficult: a)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Participants may not touch the zombie b)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Participants may not move the chairs c)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Participants will have to move when they get up, even if it is only 1 cm&nbsp; After the dynamic the group reflects on why it has been so difficult to beat the zombie. | The dynamic is a lot of fun, and “sucks” participants into the competitiveness of wanting to win. It is crucial facilitation reminds people of the rules, and asks for participants to remain calm. Also, it is better to not keep doing the game, as frustration can create more intensity.&nbsp; Collective reflection focuses on why it is hard to maintain strategy agreements, how all of us want to safe the world, and what type of leadership a group needs.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>The exercise allows a deep and complex analysis of a problematic to start a conversation from a different perspective</em> <strong>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;| The rich picture asks participants to analyze a particular problematic through a very literal and detailed drawing by including the principal actors, conflicts, causal relations, and other elements to understand the situation.&nbsp; Specific questions can allow groups to then analyze their drawing. It is particularly interesting to ask participants what new items or perspectives came up.&nbsp; In this case, we used the rich picture to analyze health equity in San Antonio. &nbsp; | In my experience this is a great exercise to start a process, for example, of building a theory of change. By drawing a certain problematic participants will go beyond their structured rational discourses, and may open up to other perspectives.&nbsp; It is crucial the drawings are detailed and literal, more then symbolic.&nbsp; Narrating the rich picture in the plenary, many times offer deep and detailed analysis. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>The exercise allows a systemic analysis of a particular problematic</em> <strong>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;| The iceberg allows participants to do a more systemic analysis of a certain problematic (in this case health equity in San Antonio). After identifying the concrete and visible problems or situations on the highest level of the iceberg, they are invited to go deeper by analyzing what is below the surface: -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Trends</strong> - more general situations that have been happening over the last period and explain some of the visible events) -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Political, economic and social structures</strong> – these give deeper historical and systemic explanations for the trends and visible events -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Narratives and cultural models </strong>– these are the ideas, ways of living, identities and cultural dynamics that sustain structures. These are historical and systemic.&nbsp; After the iceberg exercise in the plenary a conversation was held on the situation we want to change | The iceberg allows us to understand how the changes of concrete situations require deeper changes on structural and cultural level, but also how structural or cultural issues like racism, express themselves on daily life. As such, it enables us to built more robust and impactful strategies.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Purpose:</em> <em>The dynamic offers participants the opportunity to give feedback among each other</em> <strong>&nbsp; </strong>&nbsp;| As a closing dynamic the facilitator invited all participants to make a superhero cape from the paper sheets used in the workshop.&nbsp; Participants are invited to write on the backs of their fellow participants, to the left side: comments on what the deeply appreciate from these participants, and on the right side: questions or suggestions for this participants to think about.&nbsp; Two basic rules are, that to write down a question or suggestion, one always needs to write down an appreciative comments, and&nbsp; all comments have to be respectfull. | This dynamic tends to be a lot of fun, as all people will move around to be able to give comments to each other.&nbsp; Comments are not shared.&nbsp; In groups that work together more continuously, the dynamic can include more explicit constructive feedback on the right side to start a practice of more assertive communication in the team</div>]]></description>
