Strategy and methodology
1. Put the two parts of the dialogue in the correct order.
M: So, how are we going to go about this?... D: Well, we have to:
M: Organize activities for their spare time, like sports or a youth café… maybe camping out one weekend... D: We have to ask the young people what they want, but first we must show them that we are ready to offer something... to give a good example. M: We also have to address the issue of drugs in a very clear manner... D: But if we want to raise their self-esteem and social participation... we need to involve them and support them. Maybe they can actually do the work on drugs themselves. We can form a group... M: But this means that we need to train and support them! D: I think I have got it: M: And we can then start organizing a program of activities for the summer holidays. I don’t know what they may be interested in, but probably a youth exchange is a good idea for some. The sports festival interested quite a few D: This is good because it brings in the media and for once there may be positive reports about these youngsters M: We must look for ways to support the peer group leaders, both financial and motivational. Need to see what Ban Uppa can do! D: We must contact the city about twin cities abroad. This could be a good start to establishing contacts with similar projects and, possibly, start inquiring about the feasibility of youth exchanges. M: Yes, that can be important in motivating the peers! I am sure that they would really like to travel! All young people do!… D: So, first we get them interested. Then we consult them. We train the peer leaders. We do the campaign. By then we should have enough contacts and gained their confidence to engage on the youth exchange and on the sports festival. We get them in the media. We involve them in Ban Uppa. M: This may be a great project! We need to foresee some kind of youth party or festival towards the end. It would be good to have their opinion on our work. D: Sorry, Matto. This is not our project. This is their project!
