Developing the Work Programme
Why are we doing it?• We are developing a work
programme so that local groups can work with each other and with European Alternatives to develop activities in a thematic way
• This will help stimulate collaboration between local groups, plan future Network Meetings and develop funding proposals
How can you help develop it?• Download the Local Activities
document
• All activities are divided into themes
• Look through the activities on the theme/s your group is interested in
• Share the activities on those theme/s with your group
Questions to discuss with your local group
Relevant field in the description of each local activity
What themes are your local group interested in working on?
Activities are divided up into themes
What relationships are there between the different activities in the theme/s
Look at the field “Describe the activity” in each activity of the theme/s your local group is interested in
Identify in what ways* your group could work with other group/s on the theme/s
See following slides on the ways your group could work with other groups
What activities from other groups would your group like to work on/help develop?
Look at field “What help/skills would you like from other groups to develop it?”
What skills would your members like to offer activities from other groups?
Look at field “What help/skills would you like from other groups to develop it?”
Take notes of the discussion with your local group on each question
Submit the outputs of your local group’s discussion to [email protected]
Example of exploring the relationships between different activities on the same themeOur group is interested in the “Precarity & Economic Alternatives” theme
The activities on this theme explore
• Issues faced by young people in precarious work situations in making a living (LDN, Paris, PPP)
• Ways people create economic alternatives in responsive to the crisis (auto-financing communities, social markets, alternative forms of education)
• Developing the strategy for Europe (Europe 2020)• Defining what are common goods (Paris, PPP)
See more examples on next slide
Example of ways we could work with other groups on the theme
• Enable other groups to use our research & design methods to discuss how young people cope with precarity
• Feed in outputs of discussions in other groups into the publication for our project
• Include case studies (auto-financing communities, social markets, alternative education) in our guide of creative ways of making a living
• Discuss how the outputs from our research on precarity can help us define what the commons should be
• Discuss how lessons from different projects on precarity could develop a better strategy for Europe 2020
• Discuss how we can develop joint activities on precarity for the festival
• Write a joint funding proposal on the theme
Example of other activities we would like to work with
Youth people as promoters of alternatives, Stop youth precarity, Social Market & Movie Projections, What is behind the Europe 2020 Strategy, What is the commons?
Examples of skills we can share with other local groups on this theme• Developing research methods• Discuss questions other groups are working on in our group• Writing funding proposals on the theme with other groups• Developing activities on the theme for the festival
* See following slides
Next Steps
• At the BCN Network Meeting, we can divide up into groups on each theme to discuss the outcomes of each local discussion
• We could use this to develop an action plan of activities on each theme, so we know how to work with other groups on these, as well as help plan future Network meetings on specific themes
