Worksheets

These worksheets are designed to be flexible. You can use them in the way that best fits your community, context, and process. Some groups may work through them together in live online sessions, while others may use them during in-person meetings, workshops, or community conversations. You may also decide to complete some worksheets as a small organising team before bringing key questions back to the wider community.

There is no single “right” way to use these tools. You can complete them in order, skip to the worksheets that feel most relevant, adapt the prompts, translate them, simplify them, or combine them with your own materials. The goal is not to fill out every worksheet perfectly, but to support clearer conversations, shared decision-making, and stronger preparation at each stage of the CBA process.

For online or live collaborative work, you may want to use the Google Doc version of each worksheet. Make a copy of the document, rename it for your community or project, and save it in a dedicated folder where your group can return to it over time. This can help you keep track of decisions, notes, open questions, and changes in thinking as your CBA journey develops.

For in-person sessions, you may prefer to download and print the PDF versions. Printed worksheets can be useful for workshops, table discussions, community meetings, or situations where not everyone has easy access to a computer or stable internet. You can write directly on the worksheets, use them to guide group discussions, or collect them afterwards as part of your organising records.
