Aim: The aims of this activity are to break down barriers, draw out a picture of any developments & changes within the community, undertake an audit of current picture, trends & issues and explore strengths, weaknesses, threats & opportunities.


Activity 1: Highlight key issues - introduce concept of SWOT analysis (45 mins)


 Where you identify STRENGTHS, build on them  Where you identify WEAKNESSES, correct them  Where you identify OPPORTUNITIES, exploit them  Where you identify THREATS, protect against them


Activity 2: Weaknesses, Threats, Strengths, & Opportunities


Participants are asked to sit in groups of 6-8 people but working first as individuals, participants are asked to identify firstly 3 main Weaknesses about their community in the PRESENT day. Then they are asked to group their findings and discuss before moving on to Threats then Strengths and finally, Opportunities. After the final session on ‘Opportunities’ each group feeds back to the rest of the room. This is an important exercise – laying the foundation for the action planning process. Ensure people explore all aspects and commit their thoughts to paper.


Feedback: One person from each group is asked to present the groups findings (5 mins per group)


Activity 3: The exercise should be repeated looking specifically at tourism (30mins)
