- What are Children’s Rights?
- Why is collaboration between stakeholders important?
- Why were each of the stakeholders invited?
- What is expected of them.
- An outline of the meeting.
- Representatives of each stakeholder are placed at different stations where they may exhibit their own publicity material.
- They are asked to prepare on two large piece of paper their Supply and Demand in children rights. Under the heading Supply they list the relevant skills, products, and services offered by their organization and under the heading Demand they list their needs for the development of Children’s Rights related activities.
- Next, the “trading process” begins. One member of the group remains at the station and ‘sells’ their supplies while the other members go out ‘shopping’ for their demands.
- When finished, shoppers and suppliers return to their own group, discuss, prioritize and decide attainable synergies, identifying potential partners.
- A second round of visits to market booths is used to form specific partnerships. Participants are asked to collect contacts from other organizations that may be used for developing joint activities for the promotion of Children’s Rights.
