- | ==== Defining our passion, mission, vocation and profession | + | ==== Part 1 : Defining what we love, what we are good at, what we can be paid for and what the worl needs ==== |
+ | |||
+ | Divide the participants in 4 groups and the working space in 4 areas.\\ | ||
+ | Dedicate each area to one of the following questions : | ||
+ | * **What I love** | ||
+ | * **What I'm good at** | ||
+ | * **What the world needs** | ||
+ | * **What I am/could be paid for**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Invite each group to take place in one area and start the first round.\\ | ||
+ | Precise that all participants will get the chance to answer each question, one after the other (the order in which they will answer doesn't matter).\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | First, give the participants 3 minutes of **personal reflection** to answer the question. Precise they **can't have more than 2** propositions per item (i.e. 2 things they love, 2 things they are good at, etc.).\\ | ||
+ | When time is over, invite them to share their answer out loud with the others. **Take notes** of what is said on a A4 sheet (using your best writing and precising the number of the group and the question they answered to). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Invite groups to switch and start again the process. Take notes of what is said on a new A4 (1 A4 per group and per question).\\ | ||
+ | Repeat until all participants answered all questions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To close this first stage, invite the participants to **weight the others' answers** by adding a "**+**" in front of the answers that fit them the most, knowing that they can only weight 2 propositions per question. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Give them a break (15').\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Part 2: Defining our passion, mission, vocation and profession ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | During the break, copy each A4 twice in order to create 4 new working areas : | ||
+ | * **PASSION** by joining "What I love" & "What I'm good at" | ||
+ | * **MISSION** by joining "What I love" & "What the world needs" | ||
+ | * **VOCATION** by joining "What the world needs" & "What I am/could be paid for" | ||
+ | * **PROFESSION** by joining "What I am/could be paid for" + "What I'm good at". | ||
- | Divide the group in 4 and the working space in 4 areas. Each area will be dedicated to one of the basic questions of the Ikigaï : | + | When the participants return from the break, invite them to mix and to join one working area, knowing that this time they will only work on one of them. |
- | - 1/ What I love | + | |
- | - 2/ What I'm good at | + | |
- | - 3/ What the world needs | + | |
- | - 4/ What I am/could be paid for. | + | |
- | All participants will get the chance to answer each question, one after the other. The order in which they will answer each doesn't matter. | + | |
- | Invite each sub-group to take place in one area and start the first round.\\ | + | Each group will have the mission to define the group's passion, mission, vocation or profession building on what was expressed by all during the previous stage. Invite them to be assertive : their proposition has to be clear and short (**1 sentence**). |
- | First, give the participants 3 minutes of personal reflection to answer the question. Precise they can't have more than 2 propositions per item (i.e. 2 things they love, 2 things they are good at, etc.) | + | Ask each group to write down their conclusion on a flipchart blank paper. |
- | When time is over, invite them to share their answer out loud with the others. Take notes of what is said. | + | |
+ | ==== Part 3: Defining our IKIGAI ==== | ||
- | When the participants return from the break, outline the needs that emerged so that everyone can have a clear view of the **needs of the group**. Introduce then the participants to the concept of “[[https://patterns.sociocracy30.org/artful-participation.html|Artful Participation]]” as a guideline to behave in the group for the week they will share together. | + | Time has come to define the reason for being of the group, using decision by consent. |
- | ==== Part 2: FEARS: What are my fears for this week? (20’) ==== | + | As it won't be possible to lead a decision by consent process with 30 persons, invite each working group to select two persons for taking part in the decision process. \\ |
+ | Depending your time you have, you can use the [[http://universite-du-nous.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/process-elec-ss-cddt-v5bis-gb.pdf|election by consent]] (or election without candidates) for defining who will be the group's representatives. You can also rely on random or ask for volunteers. | ||
- | Invite the participants to reflect on the **fears** they have regarding both the seminar and the collective living and to write them on a piece of paper. Remember them that each fear has to be written on a different paper. (5’) | + | Gather all participants in circle : |
+ | * 1 decisional circle in the center gathering the groups' representatives and the facilitators of the meeting ; | ||
+ | * 1 circle for the audience, gathering all the others who won't take part in the meeting. They will assist all the process but can't take part in it. They will stay silent and trust both their representatives and the process. | ||
- | Make a circle and ask the participants to **crumble the papers** with their fears and to **throw them** in | + | **Step 0: Opening round**\\ |
- | the middle of the circle. That way, the fears are no longer the fears of a person but the fears of the | + | Start the meeting with an **opening round** : "How do the people attending the meeting feel ?" Give the speech to each.\\ |
- | group as a whole. (5’) | + | Precise who will facilitate the meeting and who will take notes of what is said.\\ |
+ | Remember the **meeting's objective** (defining the reason for being of the group) and **duration** (1 hour and 15 minutes maximum). | ||
- | Then, one by one, invite the participants to **collect a paper**, **read it out loud** and glue it on a | + | ** Step 1: Getting to a proposal**\\ |
- | common Flipchart blank paper (gather similar fears together as much as possible). | + | Give the speech to each person to **express their ideas, views and suggestions** regarding what could be the group's reason for being.\\ |
- | Continue until all the fears have been read. (10’) | + | After 2 rounds, ask one or two volunteers among the participants to **make a proposal**. Give them 5 to 10 minutes to think about it and phrase it. |
- | ==== Part 3: JOYS: What I would really like to experience this week? (15’) ==== | + | **Step 2: Clarification round**\\ |
+ | Start a **clarification round**, allowing each person to make sure they understood well the proposal thanks to the proposer(s)' answers. | ||
- | To conclude the session, invite the participants to focus on what will be their **joys** during this week. | + | **Step 3: Reactions round**\\ |
+ | When there are no more questions, invite each participant to give their feedback one at a time: What do they feel regarding the proposal? What do they like in it? What do they not find relevant? What they would like to add? etc. | ||
- | The speech is free: they can express either personal, either social or pedagogical experiences. | + | **Step 4: Amending**\\ |
- | One by one, the participants who feel like sharing their ideas with the group will put themselves in the middle of the circle and **expressing their idea out loud**. (Only the ones that have an idea and want to share it will take the speech; the participants they are free to express or not). | + | Thanks to all that was said, the proposer(s) can then **clarify, amend or withdraw** their proposal. |
+ | If they withdraw it, the group goes back to the first step. If they keep it, the group moves to the next step. | ||
- | Invite then the other participants to take position regarding it, by **taking position around the person** who made the proposition. The more they agree with the idea, the closer to the person they will go. | + | **Step 5: Objections round**\\ |
+ | One at a time, participants express if they have objections to adopting the proposal.\\ | ||
+ | If they do, write them down using a keyword and deal with them one after the other until no objection remains. | ||
+ | Test the objection before addressing them to be sure the are "reasonable". If they do, open space for **back and forth discussion** between the participants to help **resolving** it.\\ | ||
+ | Once all objections are resolved, move back to the objection round to **check for new objections**.\\ | ||
+ | When there is no objection left, the proposal is adopted by mutual consent. | ||
+ | **Step 6: Celebration**\\ | ||
+ | The whole group can now celebrate their **reason for being**! | ||
