Why did we form?

A group of people encouraged by:

• The potential to have a bigger global voice together

• A desire to benefit from a scalable approach to make it easier for regional movements to start up, learn, share and collaborate

• Informal feedback from various sources that a networked global approach could add value

• Encouragement from Barrett Values Centre (UK Values Alliance funding award)

Our purpose

What are the Global Values Alliance values?

• Consciousness- awareness of self, others, communities and environment for harmony

• Collaboration - working together with inclusion, trust and generosity

World Values Day:Sprint Working Session

Sprint Guidelines

• Output and action focus – what will be the positive difference we have made after 20 days?

• Never perfect – we can always refine as we go.

• Collective power – just as your group have made suggestions based on your best judgement, so have other groups so please embrace these ideas (and also add value if you can).

• Common approach – a consistent approach (with local freedom if appropriate) will make for greater impact

• Work FAST– how much can you achieve in 45 minutes and in the 20 days?

• SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timebound).

• KISS – keep things simple so the actions are achievable.

Sprint Working Session Process

• 1 minute: Allocate roles (Chair, Timekeeper, Writer, Presenter). Decide

fictitious name of regional group/movement

• 5 minutes: Silent reflection and writing ideas on post it notes put into centre of

the table. Look at the post-its to stimulate more ideas… but in silence

• 5 minutes: End of silent phase. De-duplicate post it suggestions and group

these ideas into general topics/headings.

• 30 minutes: Build on ideas and translate into 20 day action plan - broken down

into 1-9, 10-19 and day 20)

• 5 minutes: Presentation (capturing comments)

Sprint Plan Next Steps

• Jay will make all of these ideas available at XXXXXXXXXX

• Decide what you want to do – individually or with others

• You are invited to let Jay know what you have done so we can understand what we have achieved together and celebrate our success on 20 October

• It’s up to you
