1. What is your overall impression of the Focus Group Meeting?
Well organised, stimulating,forward looking
It is very good It's my first time great impression for what we did, can't be more thankfull
Actually it was the first of ist kind to maintain following up with a focus of coming up with results/ projects reacting the citizens
very positive impression
Inspiring, open and friendly, welcoming atmosphere
forum of collected ideas, which still be in progress
interesting topics and contributions by guest speakers
It was good to have an opportunity to exchange; But it was not enough time to focus on the Focus Group work, we need to set/ plan specific meetings where we can exchange/plan next steps aside or apart from being with or in a bigger group with guests and presenters
Could have been better
A neutral one. This was my first focus group meeting an I felt I was unable to keep up with the rythm of those familiar with the group
Supportive 2 important for further cooperation 2 was good
very intense exchange of experts highly motivated and engaged people convey strong messages
Good and interesting
Good outputs, still need more profiles and more diversity

quantitave sessions of the focus group
4. What can be improved for the next meeting?
More European Participants, more practical examples
working on products an activities, more work in exchange and networking
more focused agenda on exchanging projects, more focused topics covering cuvent affairs e.g. ISIS
see 9.
Prasentations of practical examples (more visual like they are)
get a translator for non-­‐ english speaking guest speakers so as to take the burden from the facilitator
sharing the specific objectives before hand (maybe check if someone from the focus group wants to add more obj.); ask ppl. To prepare interventions/brainstorm on the specific topic before coming to the meeting; having smaller working groups for debates and for more informal setting.
less presentations , more diverse speakers than the one used to
Best practices+ presentations
Just more interactive activities
more structured rooms for networking. Choosy guest speakers. Focus on political project to b unplemented cooperatingly
give more room to practice presentations and interactive methods. Explain the structure more clearly: focus group members (permanents)-­‐ guests (transitionaries)
more interactive from the beginning of the focus group
Add more members to the focus group. Engage guests in "meeting agenda" drafting. Give participants more background before conferences.

13% yes no I don't know yet 87% 9.How do you evaluate the working method and the moderation of the workshop?
6% 31% excellent fair insufficient 63% Comments:
more small group discussions please
high engagement by all (many thanks)
more interactive sessions, more time for the introduction of participants in the 1st session
more informal setting&smaller working groups
faciliation for such content; was really good however the problem with the content resolved coul have been better
very intergrative and sensitive (Welly)
10.Anything you would like to add: I just want to say that NECE is the only Network of organisation that built a network and a database for CE in Northafrica better than the arab league and any other network that worked within the last five years.
Thank you for the great organization of the meeting-­‐>lab-­‐ concepts
more public marketing of the project to get mor famous
Maybe some of the presentaions can be done in smaller working groups to give time/space for questions and interaction with presenter; maybe focus group members would like to propose a chat/debate group on a specific topic related to their work/ interest/ challengers
In my opinion if we add other countries influenced by Gopolitics can be added value to help and exchange with best practices especially in the field of peacebuilding and citizenship education
