Steps<br />
Modify this activity according to the types of participants (i.e., community members, professionals,<br />
etc.).<br />
Part A – Identifying Ways to Take Action (45 min)<br />
1. Briefly review the discussions of the previous activity and remind the participants that together you<br />
talked about how domestic violence affects the entire community. In this activity, you will think<br />
about what the community can do to prevent it.<br />
2. Give each participant three pieces of paper and a marker pen.<br />
3. Ask them to think about things that the community can do to prevent domestic violence.<br />
4. Ask them to choose three of their ideas and write one on each piece of paper. Ask them to use no<br />
more than four words to describe each idea.<br />
5. When they are finished writing, ask them to read out their ideas to the main group in order of<br />
priority (most urgent first) and stick them on a bare wall.<br />
6. As other participants read their ideas, cluster similar idea papers by sticking them next to each<br />
other on the wall. When everyone has read their ideas, you should have several clusters.<br />
Part B – Discussing Ways to Take Action (30 min)<br />
1. Ask the participants to spend a few minutes looking at the clusters of ideas on the wall. As they are<br />
thinking about their colleagues’ ideas, invite them to add more ideas to the appropriate clusters.<br />
2. Discuss the ideas the participants have suggested:<br />
■ Are they realistic?<br />
■ Are they feasible?<br />
■ How could they be implemented?<br />
■ Who would implement them?<br />
■ Which cluster is the biggest? Does that reflect the priorities of the group?<br />
3. Emphasize that there are many things a community can do to prevent domestic violence. This work<br />
requires individuals to get involved and support each other. Explain to participants that the group<br />
will return to some of these ideas in tomorrow’s activity when they are making Action Plans. Leave<br />
the ideas up on the wall so that the participants can refer to them later.<br />
Part C – Presenting the Project as a Way to Take Action (45min)<br />
1. Explain to the participants that your organisation is committed to preventing domestic violence.<br />
Spend approximately half an hour explaining your organisation’s vision and how it hopes to<br />
contribute to the community’s effort to prevent violence. Use the presentation you prepared in<br />
advance (see preparations).<br />
2. Allow time for questions and discussion.<br />
