Fostering Healthy Active Partnerships A “They Do the Work(shop)” Event Brought to you by: Robert Aronson and Vincent Francisco University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Today’s Activities • Break up into small groups (no more than 8 or 10 to a group) • Brainstorm ideas around the SCENARIO and the GUIDING QUESTIONS • Reporting out by the groups and reactions/responses from everyone else
Scenario • You are a Healthy Carolinians Coordinator • Your coalition/group meets, but you have gone 5 years with the same people showing up for meetings • The same (very) few people have been doing all the work • You feel like you are stuck in a rut, and are not achieving the outcomes you hoped
Guiding Questions • How should we find partners? (Tips on finding partners) • What skills are necessary to initiate and assure participation in local partnerships (specifically: coordinator's skills)? • What skills are necessary to foster healthy, professional relationships between board members (specifically: coordinator's skills)? • How should a HC Coordinator mediate issues or develop trust between collaborating members/agencies? • How should a HC Coordinator overcome turf issues? • Anything else that you think of (esp. if it is better than the above)
Reporting Out • What guiding questions did you choose? • What possible solutions did you develop? • Which of those seem most plausible and/or useful? • Reactions from the rest of the room
Possible Resources • Materials from the work of the Healthy Cities movement (http://www.civicpartnerships.org/) • Materials from the Community Tool Box (http://ctb.ku.edu/)
