Method: Brainstorm & Dot-Vote
This collaborative activity helps the group surface and prioritise core themes in a way that honours every voice and perspective.
-
Individual Ideation (10 minutes):
Each participant reflects quietly on themes they find essential and writes one theme per sticky note—drawing on personal experiences and recognising varied contexts.
-
Display & Cluster:
Post your notes on the shared wall or board. Together, group similar ideas into clusters—being mindful that some insights may emerge from less-heard backgrounds.
-
Equitable Voting:
Everyone receives 3–5 dots (votes). Distribute your dots to themes you deem most important, considering both widely voiced concerns and those from marginalised perspectives.
-
Facilitator Theme Listing:
After voting, the facilitator records the highest-scoring themes in a visible list. These become the focus topics for upcoming sessions, ensuring the group’s diverse priorities guide the journey.
-
Group Reflection:
Briefly discuss the top themes: Does this selection reflect the full range of experiences in the room? Are any voices or issues still missing? Adjust as needed to maintain an inclusive agenda.
Use this method to co-create a shared roadmap that’s grounded in collective insight and respect.
