Participants reflect, how the main sectors within the society interact. The method gives an idea, to what extent the impact of a social initiative may depend from cooperation across sectoral borders.

In short

  • Time: approximately 60 minutes
  • Material: usual moderation material

Preparation

Facilitators mark out four circles on the floor with adhesive tape representing the societal sectors

  • Individual (large circle in the middle),
  • Politics,
  • Companies,
  • Civil Society

Introduction

At the beginning all participants stand in the large circle labelled “Individual”.

The facilitators explain that the activity begins with the individual: we live together in a society in which we can assume different roles which we can shape together.

  • as private individuals (employees, consumers, voters...),
  • as businesspeople,
  • politicians,
  • or activists

Action within a sector

In small groups, the participants now discuss the first question displayed on the wall. They receive moderation cards on which to write their answers in summarized form:

  • What options are available to you and other people in this field of action if you want to change something?

The question may encompass the following aspects:

  • What approach is taken by the actors in question?
  • What can people do on a small or a large scale in their specific field(s)?
  • If the question appears to be too abstract, participants may collect concrete examples

[10 minutes]

Action across sectoral borders

The participants then discuss the second question. Facilitators distribute paper sheets in the form of arrows. The findings are written on the paper arrows as keywords:

  • From your field of action, how can you influence the other actors?

[15 minutes]

Presentation

All groups present first the possibilities for actions which they wrote on their moderation cards.

In a second round they present their influence arrows.

Reflection

  • Are any actors missing?
  • How great do you consider the potential for change of each of the various actors to be?
  • What are the crucial requirements for change?
  • Where do you see opportunities to form effective alliances between actors?
  • Who holds the power to make decisions in the different areas?
  • Where do you see opportunities to form effective alliances between actors?
  • What such alliances are you currently aware of?
