Showing the Presentation
To increase the value of your post-presentation discussion, consider the following points
when you show Cooperative Enterprises: Building a Healthier, More Sustainable World:
Prior to Showing the Presentation
• Remind your audience of the objectives of the presentation and the expectations of the
discussion to follow.
•Ask participants to look for similarities between the community success stories and
situations within your own community.
• Finally, encourage your audience to take notes during the presentation. This will help with
sharing ideas during the discussion portion of the session.
During the Presentation
• While the audience is engaged with the presentation, we suggest that you observe the
reactions of participants. For example, if participants nod in agreement during certain
sections of the presentation, it is likely that they find that topic interesting or important.
Consider bringing that particular topic to the group's attention during the post-presentation
discussion.
•Do not interrupt the audience with comments or suggestions during the viewing of
Cooperative Enterprises: Building a Healthier, More Sustainable World. It is important that
participants focus on the presentation and are given the opportunity to form their own
ideas and opinions without outside influence.
