What is it?

6x1 is a useful method for carrying out activities both with youth groups and in the local community.  It is designed to use for any ongoing project, and therefore not just for a once-off afternoon activity.  It gives the participants a greater opportunity to become active citizens.

6x1 helps plan activities in a way that is consistent with the goals of the group and allows for full participation of everyone involved.  The whole group gradually develops a "vision" for working together in their town or district, enabling them to identify the real needs of the area where they live and to focus on what could be their specific contribution to resolve them.

The methods used are "participatory" so as to facilitate a wider involvement of all the members of the group and to allow each one to make their own particular contribution.  Together they will find a response to the need they have identified.

The prepared material, organized in six stages, is a path you can follow in your own community.
