Media Files=== Process Design & Hosting === Notes from the Co-creation of CSAW, the Climate and Sustainability Action Week at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland and online. During the co-creation of the CSAW Pilot, FoAM is conducting a series of training and mentoring sessions for the EPFL co-creation team. The purpose of these sessions is to learn some some basics of participatory design and hosting/facilitation as well as respond to specific questions by the team, and provide advice for the diverse challenges the team is facing. Each session focuses on a different aspect of process design, collaboration, participatory approaches to complex problems, etc. ---- === Working notes === SEP 2020 - FEB 2021 * [[Framing]] what matters and articulating core questions for a participatory event * A few relevant futuring techniques: * Mapping [[Critical Uncertainties]] before deciding on a theme * Identifying what is [[https://libarynth.org/csaw/kpu|Known, Presumed and Unknown]] about a topic of interest * Applying [[https://libarynth.org/futurist_fieldguide/causal_layered_analysis|Causal Layered Analysis]] to mapping a problem space * Exploring possible consequences, impacts and implications in a [[https://libarynth.org/futurist_fieldguide/futures_wheel|Futures Wheel]] * Articulating a {{https://neon.f0.am/s/aoC43GS9MpiDZ5R|Collective Purpose}} (template) * The Conundrums of [[Decision Making]] and [[Open Space Principles]] for co-creation meetings * [[https://libarynth.org/futurist_fieldguide/stakeholder_mapping|Stakeholder Mapping]] * Event [[flow]] and experience design for participatory events * [[Flow exercise]] for the CSAW Pilot * [[Gathering Online]] during a pandemic * Session descriptions: * Examples of [[Running Sheets]] for facilitators * Mockup of a {{https://neon.f0.am/s/MjRrzBKzB8KBDaf|Session Handout}} for participants * A possible [[Handout structure]] * A few basic principles for [[http://www.meadowlark.co/images/pdfs/hosting_in_a_hurry_version_1.0.pdf|Hosting in a hurry]] * Visualising the process and outcomes * [[https://libarynth.org/hosting_craft#session_6graphic_harvesting|DIY Graphic Harvesting training]] * Different Approaches to [[https://libarynth.org/project_mapping|Project Mapping]] ---- **Other topics discussed during mentoring sessions** * Engaging co-creators with CSAW and each other * Designing, facilitating and coordinating co-creation sessions * Clarifying the purpose, core questions and theme for the event * Connecting the purpose, the theme and the formats of the event * How to avoid Solutionism and move towards systemic interventions (including methods from complexity, systems thinking, permaculture, cooperative games, etc.) * COVID planning and working with contingencies * Feedback on the detailed event flow, programme, session and atmosphere design * Selecting participants and forming teams * Balancing learning and doing, theory and practice * Possible outcomes and deliverables * Care packages and gifts for participants and speakers that reflect the theme and purpose of the event * Challenges of co-ordination of heterogeneous groups and moderation of (online) plenary discussions * Ongoing debriefing and feedback after co-creation and review meetings ---- **Related** Our approach to mentoring in CSAW is based on FoAM's experience with: * [[https://libarynth.org/process_facilitation|Process facilitation]], in which we combine different participatory techniques to guide discussions and co-creation towards effective collaboration and long term thinking.
