Round 1: Walk About
Welcome!
For our first activity today we're using the white boards in this room to explore issues that define the big-picture context for communities and working families.
You will find a question written at the top
of these boards:
Using the markers provided, please write a response to each question .
After you've written your response, explain it verbally to a minimum of one other person, and then listen to at least one other person's explanation of what they wrote in response to the same question. Please do this for each board.
Please don't go around the room with the same
person - talk to a different person at each board.
After you've finished we'll gather in the large group.

-
