Thematic Committees
Thematic Committees is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Present the topics and the proposals assigned to each committee.
- Divide participants into groups according to the selected topics.
- Assign a facilitator to each committee to moderate discussions and ensure the group stays on task.
- Each committee reviews its assigned proposals, ensuring they understand the objectives, scope, and expected benefits.
- The facilitator encourages questions to clarify doubts or explore details.
- Committees evaluate the proposals using predefined criteria such as:
- Impact: How beneficial will the proposal be?
