Exercise
- To get familiar with the organisations that participants are coming from
- To share best practices
The space should be prepared like the lounge bar: music, visuals, preferably some couches or soft chairs, candles.
The OM Lounge has the dress code: various clothes where the organisation is described.
Participants will prepare those clothes before the opening of Lounge bar. The following aspects of information were suggested to write on the clothes:
- Your name and name of organisation
- Main aim of organisation
- Target group that you are working with
- Your best practice example of working with youth from rural/remote areas
- Anything else, that could be important for others…
OM Lounge is also having it’s own dynamics: At first people walk in the space, looking to others’ “clothes”, then they could form a circle according to alphabet of organisations’ names and to make short round, saying just the name. After wards people could join to groups of two of three people (might be some criteria for joining, kind of “atoms & molecules”).
After few steps for increasing communication among each other, participants have free space to join any groups or couples and continue “OM Lounge” as long as they wish to.
The room, where the OM Lounge is taking place, could be several spaces: Lounge-Reading table, Lounge-Photo corner, Lounge-Video wall, where participants could share their publications, photos or videos from their organisations or projects.
