Activity Instructions:<br />
1. To ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate, working groups should not exceed<br />
five people. If there are more than five participants, divide the participants into smaller<br />
groups. If you have a small audience you may opt to conduct the discussion as one<br />
single group. Group discussion should take approximately 20 minutes.<br />
2. Identify one participant to be the recorder for each group. He or she will write down all<br />
the ideas from the group's discussion.<br />
3. Ask each group member to consider the following questions. It may be useful to use the<br />
chart provided on the next page to help guide the discussion.<br />
a. What are the cooperative challenges in your local community?<br />
b. What groups or individuals are negatively affected by these challenges?<br />
c. Describe opportunities for improvement, as they relate to cooperatives, in your local<br />
community.<br />
d. What resources are available in your community that could aid you in successfully<br />
implementing your project or idea?<br />
e. Describe any cooperative success stories that have already occurred in your local<br />
community.<br />
4. After 20 minutes, have the recorder provide you with a summary <strong>of</strong> the group's<br />
comments, ideas and suggestions.
