Monday, May 6, 2012 – Documentation of Afternoon Process
2. Visioning social transformation for gender
equality and women's rights.
Exercise: “The world we want to see”
3-step exercise in country groups using pictures,
not words in order to push people to think in
concrete terms rather than fall back on vague
generalisations and familiar jargon.
Markers, Flip Chart Paper, Tape
4. Step 1. On a big sheet of paper, draw a circle representing the
world/Africa/your country as it is at present. Inside the circle,
draw pictures of the 5 major issues/problems faced by
women (or 5 main barriers to gender equality in your
country). No words allowed!
(30 minutes).
The pictures are put up on the walls for everyone to see,
explanations only if asked for.
.
10. Step 2. Draw another big circle on a fresh sheet of
paper, representing the world/Africa as you would
like to see it in 5 (or 10?) years. Inside the circle,
draw pictures of 5 things that would show that this
future world is better for women (“more gender-
equal”) than the first one. Again, no words allowed.
(20 minutes)
The pictures are again displayed and explained if
needed.
16. Step 3. Place the two worlds side by side and connect them with the arrow cut-
outs provided. Use at least 5 arrows. These arrows represent what you/your
organisation are doing and can do to move from the present situation to the
desired situation. Write a key word or phrase on each arrow to describe each
intervention. You can number the arrows if you wish to show the sequence of
interventions.
(30 minutes)
The completed pictures are displayed on the walls. Beth will document for the
wiki. After the tea break we can display on the projector
