tip :

meeting
working phase : workshop meetings
meet at a proper place
(atmosphere !)
decide who is
moderator
practice brainstorming
be open minded and
beware difficulties with
English….
summarise and fix
results
during workshops……
the moderator is not the opinion leader “but keeps the ball
running” (catch the ball and give it back to the group:
repeat arguments and ask questions (…for proposals /
ideas / opinions / backgrounds / contributions)
ask for short reports on experiences in the different
universities (…to start…)
try to compare (advantages/disadvantages,
chance/threads, strong points/week points,
positive/negative,….)
try to find a common position/solution/proposal
be sure that everybody can follow the discussion,
encourage for contributions
fix (intermediate) results
preparing presentation of the
workshop results
find a small core group
use visualisation by
media (overhead,
PowerPoint, etc.)
use computer (easier
for publication)
think also on
intercultural aspects
and experiences with
your group
presenting the results and
experiences to the audience
use Adrian’s
presentation tips…!!

and interest :
discussion,
memorandum,
resolution, letter, etc..
publishing on
homepage of isss
