The Hague KM
Sort of dating place for KM-ers in and around The Hague. Goal is to organize having lunch or drinks together and YOU are invited to do something KM-ish :-)
Martine Poolman commented on Peter Ballantyne's group 'KM4Dev09 Ag Huddle'"Hello All, These indeed are very interesting points raised.

YourScape methodology
During my PhD research I co-developed a methodology in which participants are asked to visually represent their ideas about:
a. what a water infrastructure looks like now
b. what it should look like in the future (ideally)
c. what is needed to get from a. to b. (materials, agreements, etc) and what the participant's contribution could be in acquiring what is needed.
In my research the participants were local water users, water governing institutions, NGOs, etc. in the Upper East Region of Ghana and Midden-Delfland area of the Netherlands. The methodology was developed in close cooperation with these participants.
We ask that the answers to a. b. and c. are expressed visually; either in drawings or through use of collages. This has helped gain insight and understanding in each others ideas by limiting the use of words/expressions that are not familiar to all.
Though met with some initial hesitation, participants were quite happy to make their own visuals (as opposed to having sketch-artists, cartoonists, or using pre-made collages). The process of putting their own ideas to paper, helped them think the process through and helped gain clearer insight in what they "really" would want.
