As the membership of our group continued to grow and I struggled to
understand how all of these community organisations and groups relate with one
another. As a result, we began our meeting with an exercise that ‘mapped the
community’ (click here for this exercise in the Dawning Toolkit, on the PiDC website).The mapping
exercise helped us to clarify CCC members’ positions and agency acronyms and
histories in our communities. Other
potential community partners with which to build relationships were also
identified.
The meeting was more action oriented, as we tried our hand with
appreciative interviews. We broke out into partners and conducted Discovery
interviews which were then shared with the group. We then analysed our
responses and core themes emerged. It will be interesting to see how they
relate to the themes that will emerge from our larger Discovery.
