About the Oceania Fireside Chat Series

4 key areas – The 4 Cs

Feedback from members in the Oceania region about how the APF could deliver greater value centred around 4 key areas – The 4 Cs:

  • Community
    (Networking, connection to other regional members. Time zone-friendly events were obviously a big theme)

  • Capability
    (Skills development)

  • Communication
    (Advocacy, Access to publications, Opportunities to publish)

  • Collaboration
    (Opportunities to work with / learn from others)

 

3 broad areas

The Chat would include a 20-minute presentation on a particular topic, followed by a 25-minute group discussion. In terms of the 20-minute presentation, each presenter would cover three broad areas around a particular topic:

  • WHAT I KNOW

(knowledge transfer about the TOPIC under discussion - E.g., Extreme Heat Governance Futures, Scenario Planning, etc.).

  • WHAT I DID

(knowledge transfer about the PROCESS, TOOLS & TECHNIQUES applied during the futures exercise/project).

  • WHAT I WISH I KNEW THEN

... (knowledge transfer about experiences/challenges/learnings from the exercise).
