DESCRIPTION
The first part of this tool consists of a presentation about the meaning of networking, the different models, and the paradigms on which networkworkin is based.
In the second part, a 4-step exercise is proposed:
The first three steps involve a personal, individual analysis which each trainee can make from their own experience, thinking about the work they are doing in their own organisation. At the end of this phase, each participant will present their own self-analysis; the trainer will have to bring out the key points of thenetworking which were expressed during the personal analysis.
The fourth step proposes a task to be done in small groups. The aim is to create a social campaign, perhaps related to sustainable economy, for which it is necessary to select regional and local stakeholders that can be involved, starting from the considerations made during the initial lesson, and including the subsequent analysis of the first 3 steps.
One of the goals of this tool is to understand that we often do not dedicate enough time to networking - a fact that should be changed, as it can easily lead to isolation from peers.
