 ====== How do we act with guidelines and rules? ======

   * Highlighting our strategies to negotiate with them.
   * Raising awareness on how our behaviors can affect others.
+===== Scenario =====
+** Duration**: 50 minutes
+**> Part 1: Setting a frame – Playing / Drawing**
+Place a long blank paper in the floor. At one end, place 3 different pots of painting, of 3 different colors, with 6 brushes (2 per pots).
+Ask the participants to sit around the paper and feel comfortable.
+{{ :out_of_the_box:tools:together:guidelines.jpg?200| }}Start the session by explaining them some **basic guidelines**, but **don’t write them**:
+  * Each participant has to draw one unique symbol in the paper, using only one color.
+  * They can draw their symbol as many times as they want, using always the same color.
+  * They can vary the size of their draw if they feel like;
+  * At least one brush has to be always available;
+  * Everyone has to have the chance of participating at least once;
+  * They can only paint if the music is playing but they can do it freely whenever they want;
+  * When the music is playing they are not allowed to talk.
+Start the **music** (NB: Don’t tell the participants how long the workshop will be) and let it play for 20 minutes.
+** > Part 2: Sharing Circle**
+After you stopped the music, make a sharing circle, asking the participants **how they felt** during the exercise and how they feel **now** about the collective work.
+Close the circle by reminding the guidelines and highlighting **which ones were broken** during the exercise.\\
+Give the speech to those who didn’t respect them and ask them **why** they decided to do so.
+**> Part 3: Meta-analysis**
+Finish with a meta-analysis on **how we negotiate with the guidelines** in our everyday life, either because we forgot what they were (most probably because we don’t find them pertinent - external rules), either because we have a personal need, or because we judge that they are not that important and we tend to forget that breaking them can create tension, frustration or incomprehension around us.
+Remind that rules are meant to be a **contract** between people in order to allow the group to reach an objective, but this doesn’t mean that they have to be rigid. They need to be **reminded**, **modified**, and **redefined** to always fit the needs of the group.
+===== Expected results =====
+The participants better understand the importance of defining rules/guidelines together, to give space to every person in the group and to reach both their personal and collective objectives.
+===== Material required =====
+  * Big space (outside or inside)
+  * Painting of different colors (at least 3)
+  * A long blank paper
+  * A music system and a playlist
