  4. EU-CORD – an Introduction

  5. EU-CORD • European Christian Organisations in Relief and Development • 22 organisations from 12 European countries • Working in 99 countries • Through over 1000 local partners • Shared Values • Relationships • Cooperation • Quality • Christian • Integrity • Accountability • Professional

  6. Ice Breaker • Which organisation has been the longest/shortest in the country? • Without talking, ask people to form a line from the oldest to the youngest organisation • What regions/districts are you working in? • Write the names of the district/regions on pieces of card and have people stand next to the place where they work. Then ‘change’ as some will work in more than 1 location, keep going until everyone has covered all their bases • Have a large map of the country and ask people to put a pin in the locations where they work (and perhaps a different coloured pin for where they want to work) • Do you target any special target groups? • Give everyone some balloons, a pen and a piece of string. Blow up the balloon, write name of any special target groups on the balloon and when everyone is finished group like targets groups together

  7. Resource Map • People Expertise • Relationships with • Partnerships/collaboration with • Existing connections • Mapping of informal relationships between individuals • Funding from • Information/publications • Accommodation/Offices • Sectors and specialisms

  8. Donor Mapping • Write the name of the donor at the top of a flip chart paper and place on table. Do this for each donor + have some blank paper. • Then include the following headings: • Organisations being funded by the donor (directly, indirectly) • Level of contact (good, ok, none) • Sectors/geographic interest of the donor • Application procedure • Funding Scale/Grant Size (indication if known)

  9. Reflection If collaboration and partnership is helped by having good relationships, what can we do to build better relationships? Do I see opportunities (sharing information, joint working) that will help my organisation to meet its aims in this country? Is there anything we want to do as a group to make use of the opportunities? If yes – in what areas, what tools do we need and how do we organise ourselves?

  10. Conversation Close • Check the expectations and to what extent they have been met • Summarise the agreed next steps • Thank everyone for the time and participation

  11. Equipment • Flip chart paper • Thick writing pens • Pens, pencils • Name badges/stickers • Large post-it notes • Balloons • String • Scissors • Large map of the country split into regions/districts • Pins/stickers (to place on the map)
