  1. Practicing and Administering the Survey

  2. Task/Assessment Activity Purpose: To prepare community participants to administer the survey. Example: After practice, students move into the community and discover hidden assets and potential community leaders they did not know before. Preparation: Survey forms for practice and feedback; cameras and a computer to view the practice interviews, if available; forms for the actual survey; phones if doing a phone survey; computers if doing an email survey; equipment for the interviews (cameras, notebooks, etc.).

  3. Activity One: Asking Questions Be sure to remind the participants that the information they are seeking will help assess the resources and needs of the community. Encourage them to take note of any individuals who show leadership roles, either publicly or behind the scenes. They may be future volunteers or potential Center support members. Hand out the final survey form and remind community participants of the importance of asking questions in the right manner. Ask participants what might be some important interview techniques. Write these suggestions on the board or sheet of paper. Prompt them if necessary.

  4. Activity One: Asking Questions

  5. Activity Two: Interviewing Each Other Have eCentre participants interview you, or another participant in the Center. Then have participants switch roles. Ask them to report what skills they performed well and how they could improve their interview techniques. If you have access to a video camera, tape the practice interviews, view and discuss them later.

  6. Activity Two: Interviewing Each Other • As the participants report back their experience of interviewing each other, discuss how it felt to have someone summarise their culture or community in their own words? • Were the answers fairly accurate and true? • What was surprising? • What was new? • Was anything upsetting or funny? • Are there things you would like to clarify in depth, that were not clear? • Were participants able to capture the information in the form of: • Notes; • a spreadsheet; • a still photo; • an audio recording; • a video interview

  7. Activity Two: Interviewing Each Other

  8. Activity Three: Administering the Survey • Go over the list of people and organizations you have decided to survey and the method you plan to use. Such as email, face-to-face spontaneous interviews, or pre-arranged interviews on camera • Divide the list among your group members individually or in teams. • Now it is time to go out into the community (or to their computers) to administer the survey. Be sure that each individual or team has the equipment they need (survey forms, pens/pencils; cameras, microphones; notebooks, etc). • Remind them to return the equipment, completed forms and notes back to the eCentre.
