Part 2: Workshop materials - session 1B. Logistical informationGive a brief practical summary about the venue and course. For example:• Washroom locations• Refreshments• Significant time markers (daily start and end times, meals and tea breaks)• Anything else specific to the venue, such as fire assembly points• Key contact people for questions about accommodation, travel arrangements, finances, and soon.C. Expectations of the workshopActivity 1: Collecting participants’ expectationsStep 1: Writing expectationsGive each participant four sticky notes: two yellow and two blue (the colours are not important butthey should be different).• On each yellow note, ask participants to write something they expect to LEARN.• On each blue note, ask them to write something they expect to CONTRIBUTE.Ask them to:• be specific• write only one point or idea on each note• add their initials to each note.Step 2: Sharing expectationsWhen they have finished:• Ask one participant to read one of their expectations to the group (of either colour) and toplace it on a sheet of flipchart paper on the wall. Ask for clarification if necessary.• Ask if anyone else has an expectation that seems similar or related. Encourage three or fourrelated expectations to be shared. These new expectations should be placed near to the firstexpectation.Repeat step 2 (perhaps with an example of the other colour from a different group member).You may need to repeat step 2 a few times until the group understands the process.Step 3: Organising the remaining notesWhen the group understands the process, they can all place their remaining expectations on thechart. At this stage, they do not need to say their expectations aloud, but you can encourage themto help each other arrange and rearrange them if there are questions about where they ‘should’go.At the end of this activity, you will have a flipchart sheet with a number of groupings of relatedexpectations. Both colours (learning and contributions) will be mixed together within the groups.Step 4: Naming the themesAsk participants to suggest a ‘theme’ (a word or a short sentence) that describes what is in eachgroup of sticky notes. Start by asking them to suggest a name for a grouping that looks simple,and then have them name a few other groupings.• You don’t need to push for certain wording, as long as the group feels the wording fits thegrouping. Examples of group names could include ‘Theory to practice’ or ‘Research processes’or ‘Market development theory’.• You don’t need to cover all the groups (one of the facilitators completes and refines thesegroupings in the next activity). Instead choose a few that look easier to assign a word or phraseto.20
Part 2: Workshop materials - session 1Explain that you will return to this chart in a few minutes to show how the themes relate to theagenda and objectives of the workshop.The finished product should end up looking something like this example from Malawi:Exampleexpectationschart withgroupingsnamed byparticipants21
