The Pyramid Lite process starts with the choice of a “central challenge”, a global or local issue that you want to focus on. This could include topics related to climate change, poverty, access to safe drinking water, health care, education, or any significant problem, question, or issue that your group would like to explore. The Pyramid process then guides your group through discussion exercises, moving from information sharing, to reflection and idea brainstorming, to consensus building, and finally to goal setting and planning for action. By the end, your group will have explored the issue thoroughly, and developed a set of specific ideas for action. What you do with those ideas — and whether you turn them into real action — is up to you.
Along the way, the group also builds a pyramid – either physically or virtually. Building a physical pyramid is not a requirement, but it is great fun and it stimulates creativity! Many kinds of materials can be used to build the pyramid. Wooden sticks, pipe cleaners and post-it notes are the most commonly used materials — but the only limit is your imagination. Each step in the process is a “level” in the pyramid. The final level is the very top of the pyramid, the “Capstone.” Your group is now brought together to make a “Capstone Agreement” – an agreement on goals and action! The “cap off” signals the end of the workshop and is also a moment of celebration.
Easy to run “Pyramid Lite” is a step-by-step manual that makes the Pyramid process accessible to anyone who wants to contribute to building a better world. You don’t need special training to run a Pyramid Lite workshop! All you need is a little skill in facilitating a group!
