Possible work forms for interactive sessions
Below are some ideas of work form for the sessions in the digital WINNER conference, 24 – 26 November 2020.
Masterclass – Presentation and interaction
In a masterclass, an expert from a knowledge institution, the government or industry provides an interactive insight into his or her expertise. A bold and daring speaker who we can learn from and above all is inspiring. The session is aimed at sharing knowledge and skills around a specific theme.
Possible structure: 15 minutes presentation + 25 minutes interaction, supporting visual material via for example Prezi or PowerPoint
Room setup: lecture room
Capacity: dependent on size of room, for 10-100 people
Best Practice – Presentation and interaction
The ‘Best Practice’ offers a platform for a successful research collaboration/consortium setup/mix of knowledge development and questions from the field. Proposals could also be made to realise a better process or organisation of exchange, for example something that can be presented to the participants as a concept and then be discussed.
Possible structure: 15 minutes explanation + 25 minutes questions
Room setup: lecture room
Capacity: dependent on size of room, for 10-100 people
Workshop – Collaboration
In the workshop, the participants will work together on an issue under the supervision of a moderator. In an open, honest and reciprocal manner they will jointly explore the issue and actively exchange ideas about possibilities to solve a scientific or societal problem. The workshop works best if a moderator keeps an eye on the process, time and the outcomes.
Possible structure: 5 minutes introduction + 25 minutes working in groups + 10 minutes presentation to each other and concluding the session
Room setup: tables with chairs
Capacity: maximum 40 people
Debate in a debating chamber – Discussion based on a proposition and ‘camps of proponents and opponents’
In a debating chamber setup you can discuss various propositions with the participants.
Possible structure: 5 minutes introduction and the debate rules + 30 minutes debate + 5 minutes concluding the session
Room setup: debating chamber
Capacity: maximum of 50 people
