Designing your OCEA
Designing a successful OCEA entails the use of the most efficient tools, guides, and techniques to assure sustainable engagement. In the resource list for this phase, you can find:
The amount of digital tools at your disposal are numerous and evolving. In the design phase, it is important to identify which digital tools are appropriate and accessible for your stakeholders and best suited to executing your OCEA. Using state-of-the-art digital tools does not determine the success of your intervention; more weight needs to be on whether the tools meet the needs of the target audience and match the design of the OCEA. In the end, digital tools should aid you in achieving your OCEAs objectives. The ‘Digital Tools’ section provides both a list of tools and resources on how to use them.
Activities in online engagement are as important as in offline engagement. There should be an emphasis on the application of well designed and integrated activities in the design phase. Setting your OCEA objectives and framework will require activities to support the approach and guarantee continuous engagement during and after the OCEA. In this section you will find activities linked to a group process framework, tackling orientation, formation, development, relationship building, conflict resolution, critical thinking, forward thinking, activation, and more.
Many of the resources in this hub outline different approaches to take when designing an OCEA. Approaches listed include: risk-sensitive, cyber threat informed, whole-of-society, youth-led, localised, inclusive, and trauma-sensitive approaches. Your design process may need to incorporate more than one approach.
- Research and Reports
When designing your OCEA, you can benefit from information gained from fields relevant to PVE and/or from evaluations of related interventions. You may want to pay special attention to interventions that engage your target audiences or that are implemented in your target region.
This hub offers a wide variety of resources that contain key recommendations of best practices, guidelines and guiding principles. These resources can allow you to tap into the expertise gained from other practitioners and direct the implementation of your OCEA.
