Feedback from Intersections – 26-28 OCT 2009
MAJOR LEARNINGS: Surprised to learn that many in the field still share stereotypical views about cultures and communities – guess a lot more work with practitioners is needed!
New and innovative use of media
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE: Felt interactive sessions were too short – another 30mins at least was needed in some sessions. Last session of the day remained unclear – partic on day 1 could have been explained a little better as like many others wasn’t sure what was or even did happen. On day 2 there were clearer options and maybe session options could have been added on day 1 after lunch or an announcement could have been made or clearer instructions for participants as to how that session would unfold etc.
Thought it would have been better to have at least one plenary session each day.
Liked the interactive evaluation concept but couldn’t hear some of the clips and wasn’t sure if each one had a diff focus. Would have been better if more clarity had been given and each clip clearly talking to a diff aspect/theme of the programme
Liked the mailbox idea – pity someone allegedly did abuse it
Good network opportunities created

- ISSUES NEEDING TO BE FURTHER EXPLORED:
- Further policy changes in the field – ongoing need
- Culture and programming
- Working with youth (and children) – how do we engage them in meaningful participation ? was disappointed In this session as had hoped processes for meaningful and constructive engagement would be explored rather than feedback on programme activities and content . “ I was looking for creative out of the box ideas and personally did not find the session useful at all.
