Design for Wiser Action Workshop D4WA

A 2.5 hour online facilitated workshop aimed at smaller organisations and groups who are new to bid writing and approaching funders. The session helps clarify and organise your ideas around projects and prepares you to approach funders with more confidence and effectiveness. It is a highly interactive session with participants working collaboratively using a D4WA tool.

The workshop will support participants in initiating/pitching for funding project by generating ideas, getting clarity about their project and providing structure for clearly presenting their idea when they meet the funders face to face at the funding fair.

By attending this Design for Wiser Action workshop, participants will be more ready to talk about their project and funding requirements to funders, and have a better understanding of which funders to approach on the day. This will result in a better and more effective use of time on the day. Participants will be better placed to receive focused and productive feedback from funders to the idea they have developed within the workshop.

After the funding fair participants can meet again in a reflection and consolidation workshop that will allow them to use the feedback to produce a finalised funding application ready to for submission.
