Goal
Participants reflect the social relevance of civil engagement, as well for other parts of the society. They gain a systemic understanding of their individual social impact as active citizens.
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?
