⮚ Given where they are now, what is the next step and what specific resources, opportunities, assets or building blocks does your organization have that can help provide? 4. Assign participants to groups so that each group has diversity of Community Capitals sectors and demographics. Assigned seating increases the likelihood that people will get to meet people they don’t know. You might also want to look for diversity of leadership, disciplines, and experiences. Note: You will need to use the registration list for an initial assignment but be prepared on the day of the forum to move people to accommodate both no-shows and people who were not pre-registered.
5. Train facilitators within a few days of the forum to be sure they know each other and the tasks for which they are responsible.
Note : While training and experience can be optional if time and capacity are limited, we highly recommend doing the training for the sake of productive, consistent small group sessions.
Using Case Studies During the Forum
Face to Face Forums
Online Forums
Upon arrival, seat participants at pre- assigned tables. They will start their day in this group of people intentionally created to represent different community capitals sectors.
Prior to the forum, set up breakout groups with 6-8 participants in each and ensure diversity of Community Capitals and demographics. Upon arrival, ask individuals to share their name and email with the platform host so attendance can be verified and breakout groups for Case Study activity can be managed prior to breakout session time. When time for the case study, each group should be given a different case study. Tell participants how much time they will have to read and respond to the case study questions within their group. An assigned facilitator or a volunteer note taker will capture key ideas. An assigned facilitator or volunteer will report-out to the larger group. Use a google doc to capture notes.
