What was Workshop 2

Although our face-to-face event again could not go ahead, we used a blended delivery approach in order to engage participants and partners in our workshop 2 on 22nd September 2021, 11:30-13:00.

Main Aims of Workshop 2

The aims of workshop 2 were:

1. Enable participants to review the collated causal map & identify areas for intervention

2. Identify areas of action within the  map (prioritisation)

3. Develop specific areas for action

4. Organise a carousel (or similar) in order to determine all other considerations

5. Refine the areas for action

Tasks in Workshop 2

A number of presentations helped to set the scene and paint the local picture in relation to childhood obesity, current actions trying to prevent this and the actions scales model.  This helped to communicate to our partners that we are at the start of a journey towards a positive system levels change.

Using breakout rooms, we enabled participants to contribute to the creation of a healthier local system via collective action and shared vision, to highlight the number of partners and the variety of approaches that are involved.

Select a number of prioritised themes for which actions should be identified and appreciate the differing levels of systems action (different degrees of leverage).

Identify a number of aligned systems actions which aim to alter the functioning of the current system.

Enable participants to see how their work aligns to a shared ambition.

Outputs of Workshop 2

We are currently working on the outputs from the workshop and look forward to updating you with these soon!
