Executive Summary

This paper reports the results of an SDDP workshop organized by Future Worlds Center in an attemp to create a vision map for the development of goals and structure of MDG materials to be produced. The workshop was organized using the structured dialogic design process (SDDP) approach within the context of a rich web-based communication environment. The workshop was facilitated by Yiannis Laouris and Mrs. Mary Ioannou and it was attended by 33 participants from 6 countries.


The Triggering Question (TQ) was
What goals should MDG resources satisfy to meet the requirements of TeachMDGs project?

In response to the TQ, the 33 participants came up with 65 characteristics, which were categorized in 12 clusters. Following the voting process, 46 ideas received one or more votes and were structured to create the influence MAP shown below.

Influence tree from the SDDP Internal Workshop to develop a Common Framework for MDG.


According to the participants of this workshop, the descriptors which appear to be the most influential were:

  • Descriptor# 50 Integrate MDGs into curricular and educational concepts (like knowledge about social and economic development and development of skills, values and attitudes)
  • Descriptor#33 Resources that give teachers the tools and methodologies to teach using MDGs
  • Descriptor#45 School staff should be enabled to apply the developed resources in daily school life
  • Descriptor#22 To encourage children to think critically about the MDGs
  • Descriptor#18 MDG resources should focus on global phenomena as those are experienced and witnessed at local level



In sum, the participants of the dialogue reported their satisfaction that their voices have been heard and documented and communicated their expectations for follow-up activities to address their needs.
