Contribution Emmanuel:: Mapping The Actors
Contribution Emmanuel:
I work as Teacher teaching subjects aimed at promoting active global citizenship and
international solidarity in addressing global challenges; so, the actors I work with in my
context are connected to my students and the subjects I teach at our institution.
I teach Campaigning for Human Rights; Volunteerism and NGOs in Development; and
Globalization People and Democracy; I collaborate with different external actors for each of
the courses I teach.
Question 1- Individually, map the actors that are involved (directly and indirectly)
in the process in the context of your work.
The table below indicates the actors that are involved in my work and their roles.
MY SUBJECT ACTORS ACTORS’ ROLE
Ministry of Education Providing financial support for teacher’s salary and
Campaigning for in Denmark subsiding expenses towards teaching aids and other
Human Rights school expenses
Reflect and analyse the constituency of the context of your work and share this with
other participants of your reflection group.
Contribution Franziska
The actors who are directly involved in my work as a regional coordinator of the global
education program CHAT of the WORLDS (CdW) are (from the left):
- the funding agency (EG, blue),
- NGOs as responisble regional bodies (green) which implement and promote the
program CHAT of the WORLDS in their federal states (in my case it is the NGO called
EWNT framed in red)
- Regional Actors, e.g. trainers and NGOs (pink or not colored), who (potentially or
directly) implement the program and its workshops in educational institutions.
Relationships on regional actors level (on the right) – identified problem nr. 1:
As you can see there are different types of actors with different types of relationships to the
EWNT (on regional level). There are actors in our working field to which we have strong and
balanced relationships, which are characterized by the willingness to collaborate or to
exchange in order to jointly develop the program further. Mostly these actors are NGOs. Both,
the EWNT and the related NGOs, benefit from these kinds of collaborative relationships. The
relationship to our active individual trainers is characterized in a different way: We as NGO
offer money and different kinds of support to enable them to implenent CdW-workshops in
educational institutions. My main problem here is that we face a lack of participation on the
part of the trainers in order to exchange conceptual ideas. It seems that the program CdW is
not recognized by them as field of collaboration and partizipation to jointly develop the
program together.
Relationships on NGO level (in the middle, green) – identified problem nr. 2:
On the NGO level I face a same situation: We as regional coordinators are responsible for the
the further structural and content-related development of the program CdW on national level.
Therefore we have to cooperate and collaborate with the funding agency and with each other
as NGOs. And here is my second main problem: There is a lack of communication between
the different participating NGOs: Deadlines can’t be met and deliveries do not arrive.
Currently a joint development of the program is not or just in a limited way possible.
