Activity 3: Where Do We Stand activity
 Module 1: Introduction, Content and Curriculum

Overview & Instructor Notes

This activity is the first in the series on change management.

The purpose of the activity is to get the participants to consider two opposing statements and select the one that most closely reflects their own opinion.

The wording of the statements has intentionally been selected to make the decision difficult and the statements are not necessarily opposites. The purpose of this is to stimulate discussion regarding the use of ICT. It is important to tell the participants that there are no right answers.

One method of sharing the results is for the facilitator to read each statement and ask which groups agree with the statement. If there is disagreement within the groups then provide them with the opportunity to explain their decisions.

This activity will take about 30 minutes to complete.
