Description
The participants will share their knowledge on EU Green Deal issues. For this purpose, the trainer, with the help of volunteers, gives them flower petals (sticky notes) in five colors.
The trainer explains that two questions will be asked, and for each question a separate flip chart is assigned – a sheet on which the questions are written and on which the participants must stick their answers. Participants can add thoughts to the sheet itself and clarify the definition through it.
The trainer sets 2 questions:
- Do you know what the EU Green Deal is?
- Do you know what “New European Bauhaus” is?
and he/she explains that:
- yellow means “yes, but I don’t know much”;
- red means “no”;
- green means – “yes, I am very interested in her”,
- blue means – “yes, but I don’t think it’s very useful”;
- violet means “no, I don’t care”
On each flipchart sheet, under the corresponding question, the participants stick their answer sheets.
The trainer asks if there is a volunteer to count the sheets in each colour and read what is written on the sheets.
The volunteer announces the results and, if there is text written on the sheets, reads it.
At this point, the trainer encourages participants in discussing the results. He/she will ask participants to take turns sharing their opinion on the questions and why they answered the way they did.
The trainer facilitates the discussion, encouraging everyone to take part in it. He/she can guide the discussion asking questions such as “Why do you think more/less people know about the Green Deal and the “New European Bauhaus”?
To prepare the participants for the next session, the trainer projects a video clip with Ursula von der Leyen – President of the EC.
Debriefing
To debrief, the trainer can ask the questions:
- What is your self-assessment of your knowledge of the Green Deal?
- What is your self-assessment of your knowledge of New European Bauhaus?
- What you understood from the video featuring Ursula von der Leyen?
- Has your attitude towards the Green Deal changed and in what way after seeing Ursula von der Leyen’s speech?
Tips
The trainer should always stimulate everyone’s participation in the discussions. In the debriefing, the trainer should make sure that each participant gives their opinion.
Handouts and resources
The trainer(s) can use these handouts for the session or create their own, as long as the same basic concepts are included (EU Green Deal presented by members of the EC ).
