 * session 2: What do we want to contribute ? What do we bring to the table?**


 * Objectives:**

- to have a concrete idea of the comparative advantage of each institution and their potential contribution - to identify concrete indicators of the real added value of the Joint Initiative - to establish a shared language


 * Methodology:**

Step 1 (30 minutes) Each institution has prepared a brief presentation of the ways they presently work in the area of youth employment in the continent. This should incorporate information on the policies and strategies backing the work, ongoing activities and present types of interventions at continental and sub-regional level as well as at country level. The participants will be asked to fill in the following "added value" matrix (based on their initial material.

Step 2 (40 minutes) Each institution will debrief to the other institutions their final results to the other groups. The entire group decides which of the elements of the added value matrix can be added to the more general synergy grid of the Joint Initiative.

Step 3 (20 minutes) Through step 2 we have formulated a general synergy grid for the joint initiative. Does this give a clear picture of what the added value might be. Does it give us concrete indications about how we can do more together than alone?

This exercise will be useful to make the organizational environment in a very concrete way and will be useful later when we want to take into consideration the many different factors maximize the potential of the strengths and opportunities. It will also be a useful tool to get a common understanding and an enriched collective perspective of the way the objectives are pursued.
