No Small Change – Toolkit 3: Sample Agenda

The agenda you set will depend on the goals you have for the session, who is attending and how long people can stay at the workshop. The example we give below is for a workshop that lasts around 3 hours, with a group who want to spend some time talking about indicators as well as how to measure outcomes.

Sample Agenda

Introduction (10 mins)

Ground rules: phones, no wrong answers, open and confidential space- information of a confidential or sensitive nature will not be recorded with attribution or names.

Introduction and purpose of our work- who we are, why we are here.

We want to understand about how the <insert CC> works, what the aims are and the benefits people get from being involved in it.

Icebreaker (15 mins - Introductory activity)

Theory of Change (1 hour)

Participants will work through a facilitated exercise in a mixture of small group and plenary sessions to answer:

Who is affected by the project? What is the need that the <insert CC> is responding to? What the changes are as a result of the <insert CC> (short, medium and long-term

changes)?

Break (20 mins)

Who else? And what if? (20 mins)

What is it that the <insert CC> is doing over and above everything else? Who else is important in terms of making change happen? Which people and which

organisations? What are they good at? Less good at? What if the project stopped running?

How do we know change is taking place? (30 mins)

If we wanted to evidence these outcomes, what ways would you suggest we use to know that positive changes are taking place to people who use <insert CC>?
