### Purpose We are planning to conduct a workshop on 10th and 11th February 2024 in Vijayawada. I need to work with the team and come up with the content and design of the workshop. ### Principles - Co-creation - Both the workshop designing as well as the workshop itself must be co-created with the participants and stakeholders. We need to create discussion and brainstorming spaces so everyone can feel a part of it. It's very easy to slip into tokenism and we need to ensure that there is high amount of participation. - Relationships - The most important outcome is to create a space for facilitators and the team to form relationships. We need to be careful not to focus on the content and get through specific things and need to focus on nurturing a sense of community and belonging. ### Outcome Visioning The workshop serves as a place where relationships are formed and creates a closer community among the facilitators. Facilitators feel as part of something bigger and are able to find support from the rest of the team and other facilitators. The workshop helps them discover strategies and convinces them of giving children agency and ownership. ### Brainstorming - What do I already know about this project? - We more or less have a timeline and location on where to do this. We also have an idea about our audience and feedback from the previous workshop. - What don’t I know that I need to find out? - We have a few ideas on what kind of sessions we can run but it's worth talking to some other organisations on what they do as well in such workshops. The content of the session and workshops is very much lacking. - Who can I talk to who might provide insights? - It might be worth posting in the Bangalore non profits group that I'm a part of. SOCHARA and CHLP also might have some good learnings and it's probably worth talking to Ravi as well. - What can I read or listen to for relevant ideas? - I don't have anything off the top of my head but perhaps can research on how to conduct participatory workshops more. ### Actions - [x] Get dates from Annamani about potential workshop ✅ 2024-01-20 - [x] Read up about the conversations from Community Book and discuss learnings with the team ✅ 2024-02-02 - [x] Discuss with team on a skeleton structure and divide up responsibilities for each session ✅ 2024-02-04 - [x] Craft a participatory session on the importance of agency ✅ 2024-02-07 - [x] Come up with a session to talk about how to observe better ✅ 2024-02-07 - [x] Create a session to help facilitators reach out to the child and be at their level ✅ 2024-02-09 - [x] Prepare mentally and have clear understanding of what to speak ✅ 2024-02-10 - [x] Book bus tickets for everyone after speaking to DBRC ✅ 2024-02-07 - [x] See if we can move ticket to Vijayawada ✅ 2024-02-08 - [x] Create a match the following with the participation ladder ✅ 2024-02-09 - [x] Finish up workshop report ✅ 2024-02-15
