 QUOTATIONS                      

Quotations can be used:

• To stimulate thinking - you could select individual quotations, enlarge them and print them off – then put them in eye-catching positions around your event:

o on tables if you are having a meal;
o on seats for a presentation;
o on the wall, if people are circulating;
o include them in displays;
o include appropriate ones in an interfaith event or worship;
o give one to everyone as they come into the event. (Follow up by inviting them to sign up to a pledge later in the event or as they leave – see Pledges)
o Make the concise ones into bookmarks, laminate them, let people choose in return for a donation.

• As part of your publicity – choose pithy arresting ones to catch the interest!

• As part of a discussion activity - give one to everyone or, if people are sitting round a table, let people choose one they like. Invite them to share it with the others and initiate a discussion about what gives them hope for a more equal and peaceful world. You could use this together with the Pledges.

• As part of an interfaith event – invite people of various faiths to share their faiths’ teaching about theme and bring quotations. You can offer these as a starting point or to add to the faiths represented at your event.

• Your ideas – we would love you to share your ideas about how to use quotations with other OWW organisers. Contact us and we’ll put them on the website.
