Pre-Workshop Checklist

Own the space!
- Before the participants arrive, make sure that the room is ready to welcome them and allow for a non-hierarchical interaction from the beginning (e.g., arrange the chairs in a circle for the introductions)
- Have everything ready for the games you chose before participants' arrival and make the space support your plan
- Prepare your objects somewhere accessible to you and make space for the objects that participants' will bring
Participants' registration
- Remember to collect consent forms
- At arrivals, ask participants to fill in the short questionnaire
Be a Cultural Animateur from the beginning!
- Introduce yourself and the project but remember that the focus must be on participants - not you or the project
- While waiting for the workshop to start, show interest in participants and make them feel welcome
- Consider a moment of silence or prayer before officially starting the workshop
Take pictures!
- As part of your visual notetaking, remember to take pictures and short videos throughout the day - be mindful in doing so (e.g., no need to take pictures of faces if this is not appropriate)
End of workshop
- However the workshop goes, remember to thank the participants for their engagement
- Ask them to fill in the final short questionnaire on the App
- Reflect (with the other facilitators) on how the day went and start to write down your notes
- Remember to submit your visual and written notes within one week
