Description
Building on activities from Part 1, this session discussed the practicalities of running a scenario workshop, detailed the scenario building process, and explored the rationale for the component parts. The session opened with a recap of the scenario workshop, which is defined as a place where the community and researchers work together to co-create scenarios for the future. Wentworth discussed how to develop a feasible vision, obtain relevant participants, and outlined how to structure the workshop. The vision should be built on some existing work or research co-generated with community partners. Workshop coordinators should aim to find a diverse group of participants that are representative of stakeholders within the specific food system at play, and how to advertise and invite participants, as well as logistics like feeding participants and finding a space that will comfortably fit them. Wentworth emphasized the role of co-facilitators, obtaining IRB approval and participant consent, developing community norms for interacting in space, creating a timeline for the workshop day. Participants were led through an exercise in short- and long-term priorities to brainstorm feasible outcomes participants would need to see over a period of 0-10 years and 10-20 years to work toward their goal. The session closed by giving participants the opportunity to network with each other and make plans for continued collaboration.
