In your organisation :-
1. Have you got activity in any of these 3 areas? a. If so, what - what is it's purpose, how is it operating, what are the challenges, what are the outcomes/impact? 2. Are there any areas of activity which have the same ambitions, but take a different approach - if so what? 3. If you have been doing activity in these areas, what have been the lessons learned, and what have been the most productive interactions? 4. How does your organisation share these productive interactions/good practice activities with the sector? 5. From today's workshop - has there been anything you think that might be transferable (with or without adaptations) to your organisation?
