    IN TEREST QU ESTION S (No t es)

    - why we didn't do it? (not lack of time / purpose not strong enough)

    - Find a common goal

    - A way to work together

    - Is the presence necessary?

    - politica europea

    - relevance - urgency (context)

    - to promote a goal or participation as a goal

    -> purpose / impact

    MACRO - to change the world - MICRO - to solve problems

    - participation as a tool

    - at the start we think participation only as a tool

    now it is not just a tool

    I'm not here to change the system, to be a better a person

    moving is a good thing

    how the process grow - how we grow in the process

    change "way of life"

    I wouldn't participate for things to be the same

    Not es from Interest group s session

  • 7/30/2019 3rd Seminar Report

    9/12

    1st question: the ONLY way to learn participation is by participating

    Many people said that it is not exactly trough because you can also read

    about or talk about

    - If you do not practice participatory democracy , you do not reallylearn

    - Learning participation by participating is not the only way but it isthe best one.

    -

    If I do not experience participation I do not learn- experimenting and getting experience makes the difference

    2nd question: in a participatory process people can chose not to participate

    - what it means not to participate?- not all the people participate in the same way- if someone is in the process is a way of participation- Is it?- It is another yet a different way- if you are going for a learning process it is a choice of participation

    too

    - people can choose not to participate- Absence is not participation- You have to see what is participation- When you do not vote you already participate in a different way- we need to consider that people have different times.. and consider the

    time of each other

    - everyone has a different way to participate3rd question: In a participatory process it is helpful to have a facilitator

    - all we can be facilitators- we can try to create a space where the roles changes in some moment- you might need someone to facilitate but it is not necessary to be one

    person

    - a facilitator is a catalizator- not educator- if it is a learning process I would agree with the sentence but in other

    approaches you might not need a facilitator

    - Facilitator if we believe that is helpful I think we might be trappedin an idea of a convenient and accommodate to this.

    - leadership without facilitator you can even learn a lot but you need toparticipate

    4th question: In the process you can change the goals

    - not always- It should be normal to change- you have to keep a safe limit- learning is a goal- Learning what?- it depends if the goals are simple or major- change depends on your main goal- from whom is the goal set at the beginning?- depends also on the environment and the situation- this is not a learning procedure

    Leadership within participatory processes

    An assessm ent instrum ents and first results

    Qu estions of the group

    W hat t he role of leadership in part ic ipatory pr ocesses?

    W hat governance is needed in Part ic ipato r Processes?

    Presentat ion and discussion o f a t ool and group e xercise:a) The group presented the gr id of analysis ( tool wi th di f ferent quest ions to assess inst i tut ions

    character ist ics and govern ance features) and the f i rst ideas generated ( inst i tu t ion s stu died);

    b ) In order to assess the tool and the ideas around i t s cret ion, the group chal lenged the al lgroup in plenary t o help t hem to app ly the t ool CLEARing Part ic ipat ion case.

    Sun in a time of darkness many of us are living. Very good. Specially the ability to work as a group not thinking we must do

    something. It was natural. And because of this we also feel like giving to

    others (final conference). Very creative situations (talks, options, a lot of

    feedback). Good feeling for the next step.

    A very special moment, connect to the reality. Thank you. Aside the food that I loved, two moments I appreciate very much: when we

    proposed the group to do an exercise and the group proposed another thing; the

    interest groups presentations (change of facilitation centre)

    Two main aspects: a)Participation happen. We worked and took a lot from theproject; b) We understood the point and we are going deeper than I could

    imagine and I would like to do it together, with all of you.

    Progress in what we are, where we are and what we want. We developed a rhythm(swimming) and danced. We didnt sunk.

    I feel comfortable working in group. Im happy to be here. Everything is moreflexible. Two main moments: the greek participation experiences presentation;

    the work in interest groups and progress and deepness achieved in the topic of

    interest. My expectations grew along the project. I thank everyone and

    specially to the Greeks. Im looking forward to the next seminar

    I feel the same. The seminar was the best of the 3 seminars and improved inrelation to the earlier seminars. It was very good not to have time so occupied

    and to have time to be together. The godness of the time we spend together.

    I spend very good days. The bad face I put in that afternoon is just becausealthough I like everything I felt lost in the second afternoon and Im afraidof not being able to systematize everything .
