-=== The Call ===+==== The Purpose ====
  
 Before starting to design the flow it's important that you agree on the purpose of CSAW. The reason for which you're doing the event – the purpose – should be as clear as possible, because all aspects of the design should be in service of fulfilling this purpose.  Before starting to design the flow it's important that you agree on the purpose of CSAW.

 Combine the different ingredients into a flow for the event. First try a quick-and-dirty flow for CSAW as a one day long event, then we'll try extending the flow to five days, the duration of the pilot.  Combine the different ingredients into a flow for the event.

-**CSAW: In One Day**+====CSAW: In One Day====
  
 Imagine that you were designing a prototype CSAW event that would last one day. What of the ingredients would be key to include? Where in the day would they happen? You don't have to use all the ingredients, only the most essential ones. Ingredients for the overall atmosphere of the event you can place along the bottom. Atmosphere specific to a session put next to the session.  Imagine that you were designing a prototype CSAW event that would last one day. What of the ingredients would be key to include?

-**CSAW Five Day Pilot**+====CSAW Five Day Pilot====
  
 How would you extend a one day event into a five day event? What would happen in the mornings, afternoons, evenings? How would the week develop, what would happen on different days? What are the inputs and the outputs of the individual sessions? How do the sessions flow from one to another towards the desired outcome? How would you extend a one day event into a five day event?

 **[Q]** There are some possible points of tension during the week. In the 'emergent' phase, so towards the middle of the week when people start working on things together - interesting ideas, engaged discussions and great questions are emerging but it may not be clear to some participants how to get to a desired result. Also, at the point of convergence on the last day, when the pressure of realisation or production becomes high, the benefits of 'exploring things together' might become lost in the rush to complete something. Also, the presentations themselves should be carefully designed - avoid long sequential presentations, try something playful, exploratory - the presentation format itself works better when aligned with the exploratory purpose of CSAW - e.g. an open lab, bazaar/fair, open mic, etc. **[Q]** There are some possible points of tension during the week.
