MASTERING DIGITAL FACILITATION

Digital facilitation workshop ALF Sweden

Digital meetings were before the pandemic an interesting opportunity but are now a necessary part of everyday working life. Initially, technical problems were accepted by many, but this has changed and the expectations on digital meetings are much higher nowadays. There are also growing expectations on meeting methods and facilitation adapted to the digital meeting format. We should not simply conduct a regular meeting through a screen, but to a greater extent use the potential that exists in the digital tools available to collaborate.

Even though digital meetings are here to stay, many still feel insecure in facilitating digital meetings and workshops. During two afternoons, there is now a chance to deeply delve into how to create good digital meetings with a high degree of participation and efficiency.

The workshop has a practical approach where you get hands on tips for planning, leading and evaluating digital meetings. At the same time, it is built around a theoretical foundation on meeting processes. As an added benefit, several of the techniques and approaches we go through can also be used for on-site meetings.

After the workshop, you will have received tips and learned insights about what is required for successful online meetings. You will also have learned and tested about ten digital tools suitable for digital meetings.

Target group:

The training is for persons who in their professional role plan and lead digital meetings and/or workshops, regardless of whether you use Teams, Zoom, Skype or any other digital platform. We expect that if you participate in the training you have a basic knowledge on working digitally. This is not a beginner’s course and we will fill the sessions with so much content that a certain amount of computer skills are required to get the most out of the training.

Course content:

Digital collaboration with a focus on group processes in a digital context.
Planning of digital meetings and components to use in order to make meetings engaging, inclusive and efficient.
Demonstration and testing of digital tools that facilitates online collaboration before, during and after a meeting.
Technical setup for running digital meetings – tips for how to lead professional digital meetings at home or from the office.

Date and time: Monday 8 November and Thursday 11 November. Half days: 13:00-16:30 CET (14:00 - 17:30 Athens/Beirut time).

The training will be conducted via Zoom, but you will be able to use the knowledge and skills gained on other meeting platforms.

Language: English.

All participants will receive a digital certificate that can be viewed on their LinkedIn page.

Application is open for Anna Lindh Foundation members and alumni until 25 October 2021. Only 20 places available. So, please fill in the application form thoroughly.

General Information

"Min Ort" was founded in late December 2016 by project manager and producer Said William Legue. He has starred in; ("Bron", "Ettor & Nollor", "Kniven I hjärtat") Said grew up in one of the less fortunate suburbs of Gothenburg and know firsthand what it meant to him to be given a chance. His breakthrough as a young actor was "Kniven i hjärtat" aired on the prestigious channel Swedish Television. When Said worked on the world premiere of "The young Zlatan" the idea of bringing and doing something to integrate the youth of the suburbs was born. In collaboration with Gothenburg’s film festival, Bergsjöskolan, Zentropa Sweden, Gothenburg Film Studios and Familjebostäder it all came to life. Said contacted director and screenplay writer Johan Melin known from; ("Preludium", "Child 44", "Utvandrarna" and "Profetia") and he shared Said´s vision of letting the younger generation tell their story thru the eyes of a camera. Together with a handpicked team of both professional film makers and volunteers and after school programs managers they casted 40 youths from all over the city ranging ages 13-20 and together they created "Min Ort- A Love story". Though out the process it grew beyond just making of a film, it also lead to a big soccer tournament and performances with Swedish rapper Erik Lundin at a Radio Event against violence. A documentary of behind the scene of "Min Ort" created by the group became a big success and was shown at Gothenburg Film Festival and later in theater’s. The process is innovative - when through deep interviews we take the starting point of the youth stories, and develop characters and manuscripts in collaboration with the young. We want to integrate youth and improve their self-esteem. The aim is to try and strengthen the young people's own stories, and give them inspiration and drive to tell stories themselves. We believe in a participant culture, where the participants are co-workers. We have already been able to see the positive effects of the film, how the project bounces hope and courage to follow their dream. Many of the young have themselves started making movies and pursuing with their own acting career and film interests.

Mission and Objectives

We are working to break the barriers. We work with integration. Two of our most important goals now. Is to lift up the woman’s, and integrate new arrivals.
We also have profesional dance teacher, profesional musican, profesional director, profesional actor, and recreation leaders from different areas in Gothenburg.
So the youths can work with the things they like. Learn how to write script. Learn how to make a movie, and study and being with the director under the moviemaking. Dance, music and other creative and culture things.
We want to build bridges, by using culture and creative things as tools.
We are working against the thing that have exploited in Sweden - We against them. And that youths don’t travel to others areas. They just stay at their own “territory’s”. So we want them to come out. And let them be creative, as they can’t in their “home base”. Also that they will se that it’s so much culture to see and learn of, all over the town, and the world!
We are all the same, is the most important thing!

Main Projects / Activities

We use film as an tool. Our concept is by using the film making. We can build bridges between youngsters all over the city and the different suburbs. It doesn’t matter of class, gender, ethnicity or religion. We are all the same! We are all human people. We invite youngsters from every suburb and different areas in Gothenburg, on a casting. They are cast by our director Johan Melin, who is a professional. And after that process, we start shooting the movie. This process builds bridges for the youths. Remember they are from different areas. And is this processing. They learn to work with each other. It doesn’t matter wich area you’re from, or ethnicity, class, gender etc. They work together.
"Min Ort" is all about unite the young from different suburbs, and the success made it possible for the next movie. The actors and talents from East Gothenburg followed and met with the young from Hisingen in the feature film "Min Ort - This is Sweden". This snowball effect continues from movie to movie. The film was premiered at the "Hising´s Festival" and was a feature film, where once again youths from all walks of life gathered under great creativity, joy and love. "Min Ort" also performed a full-featured performance on the big stage at Gothenburg amusement park Liseberg with the artist Lani Mo, under the theme Stop the violence. Now, the "My Ort" project continues with two new films in 2018. A TV series is under development and the constant focus on uniting the resorts and releasing the creativity of the young.
Our first film documentary - Min Ort (My Hood) (2017)

General Information

Mindpark is a group of creative coworking spaces in Sweden, with branches in Helsingborg, Malmö, Hyllie, Lund and Gothenburg and is home to numerous small and big companies, events and inspiring meetings.

Mindpark in Helsingborg has a community space called Open Space Mindpark, a creative meeting place for everyone who wants to test ideas, innovations and knowledge. The space physically located in Mindpark Helsingborg is funded by the municipality of Helsingborg, and the space is sponsored by Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB.

The space also houses the Mindpark reception, which caters to both Open Space Mindpark and the coworking space located on the first floor.

Mission and Objectives

The main objective of Open Space Mindpark is to provide an opportunity those who want to test ideas - from students to newcomers to established entrepreneurs. Anyone who has an idea and would like a test space and a receptive audience is welcome to the space.

The space is given out for free, provided the host does not charge the audience any fee for events/workshops.

Main Projects / Activities

We see three kinds of activities taking place at Open Space Mindpark:

1. Recurring events - Events that take place at regular intervals such as Coder Dojo (coding for children every Tuesday evening), Pecha Kucha Nights (once a month), Open Sessions (coaching by experts on areas such as accounts, networking, sustainability etc., usually once a week)

2. Stand-alone events - Events that occur either on one day or during a period, but have an ending date. For example, in 2022-2023, we had someone organize workshops on sustainability over 4 months as part of a grant they had received. Another example is when volunteers collecting humanitarian aid for Ukraine organized an art market to raise funds.

3. Exhibitions - We also offer physical space to new artists who want to showcase their works to a test audience. The space can also be given out to any product prototype. An example of the events that took place in Q1 in 2023 can be seen in the report attached.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We would be happy to give out space for events and workshops in Helsingborg if the idea and vision of the event align with ours. Our other co-working spaces in other cities do not have big event spaces, but if someone from the network has an idea for a talk/workshop that they would like to organize, we would love to explore the possibility of collaboration.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

There are several learning opportunities within the ALF network which can be very helpful and useful for our network. We would also love to explore how we can collaborate with other members and do more things in Helsingborg with those who do not reside here. We would also like to open up the space to different activities and provide opportunities to members who want to expand to Skåne.

General Information

General public upper secondary school funded by the community. Number of staff: 50 Number of students: 550 Involved in a European project about culture and minorities Budgetary resources: 30 million SEK

Mission and Objectives

Munkebäcksgymnasiet in Göteborg; Sweden is an upper secondary school with a media profile. The school has around 550 students and 50 employees. The students can choose between three different branches: social science and media, estetics and media, estetics and music. The media students can furthermore choose between photo, film or digital design later on in their studies.
PREP is another program for students who are not eligible for national programs due to failure in grammar school. Instead of separating these students, they are integrated in the regular student group during their first year. Special action plans are set up for each individual in order to raise their level of attainment. There is also a large language introduction program for newly arrived immigrants in Sweden. About 20 percent of our students have an immigrant background. Some have arrived in Sweden with their parents as refugees, others were born in Sweden and their families have recently received permanent residence. Quite a few students have arrived without any parent at all.

Main Projects / Activities

The school is situated in the very centre of Göteborg and our students come from all districts of Göteborg. The average student´s socio-economical background is middle class, lower middle class or lower class. The average student also has a relatively low overall final grade from grammar school. Some of the students have special difficulties in learning, for instance dyslexia and dyscalculia. The school therefore has two special teachers dedicated to meet those students´ needs and make them reach course-related goals. In the first year students sometimes have to attend extracurricular lessons three times a week to catch up or improve their skills in different subjects. Our school also has a health care team of our own, including a nurse and a welfare officer and the main object of the school is to make as many students as possible pass their A-levels.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We have great resources when it comes to music and media presentations, photography and film editing which we think may be useful to the network in our country.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are very interested in bringing Europe and other parts of the world mor together so that we can have a feeling of belonging instead of separation. This network seems to fulfil this need and open doors to collaboration with other organisations with the same goals.
