Activity Two Facilitator's Notes : Thoughtshower Session
The delegates will have views about the habits or demographics of a safe driver. An initial ‘shout out' activity will explore these views.
This activity is to get initial contributions from the group, and to get delegates used to contributing opinions. It also helps to establish the group's initial views, which can be compared with their views at the end of the workshop.
Facilitator's Notes
We found that some groups needed little encouragement to voice opinions at this stage, whilst other groups were quiet. In the pilot workshops we only asked for views ‘off the top of your head'. If there were only a few answers given then we moved onto the next section rather than push the participants to think more deeply about it, as this would not necessarily reflect their immediate thoughts.
One group in the pilot made a distinction between a 'good driver' and a 'safe driver' although this was not explored in the pilot workshops.
Example boards from the pilot workshops are shown below.
