Format: Working groups. Participants are split back into 3-4 groups (depending on # of stakeholder personas). Each group works on one persona (people can move between groups, but 1 person is ‘host’ and stays). | |
01:10 PM | Activity 2: Put it to the test with a policy card-game | Goal: Each participant has an opportunity to test out what they learned today and put to the test their ability to address core concerns related to childrens rights before different audiences. Format: Card-game! Each table has a small deck of cards. Each card contains a different scenario that group members will need to respond to. We can collect these prompts from the entire group of participants ahead of the workshop. | |
