Lesson 26:

One Big Sticky Idea

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has…
Margaret Mead

Homework:

• What do you think is the key theme of your NGO’s work in the UN context? (This may differ from local presentations of your NGOs work.)
• How do you think you might be able to succinctly, convey that in a “sticky” way?
  —The way it is conveyed?
  —An “idea whose time has come”?
  —A counter-intuitive story from the field?
  —Innovative outreach methods consistent with your OBSI?
