Each strategic gender priority is written on a big sheet of paper. Participants,
in groups of 2 or 3 participants, spend two minutes at each sheet of paper
writing what they think ‘good would look like’ for the priority.
At 10 minutes (when four rounds are completed), each group reviews what is
on the sheet of paper in front of them and drafts a long-term outcome.
