Timelines

Purpose
Time Lines are a way to note the important historical markers of a community or an individual. Time lines are also useful as an introduction to a discussion of changes in a community or service.

Materials

Marker pens

Flipchart paper

Process
1. Give each participant a marker pen and a piece of flipchart paper.

2. Ask participants to draw a line across the paper, and using symbols or words identify important or historical events.

You could wish to ask participants to draw their time line:

Based on their own lives from when they were born
From the beginning of time
Or from the first day your club was formed

Or you could also wish to ask participants to consider changes e.g.

Roles of men and women in society
Economy and working life
Environment and the local landscape
Political influences
Standards of living and expectations of the future

3. Use the lines to discuss similarities or differences within the group, changes over time, gaps in participant’s knowledge, things of interest, etc.

4. Draw out any common areas of interest, and ask the group to prioritise potential project themes.
