Exercise Handout:
Instructor: This session works best when the students can hear about real-life situations of
trying to create, build and sustain a collaborative entity. I recommend a guest speaker or
panel of collaboratives to describe these challenges, but I have also designed an exercise
that gets students to think about how you would convene a group. This can be used if
there is no panel or guest speakers
