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 />
