Goal
The basic rules lay the foundation for trustbuilding and for a democratic collaboration.
Steps
1. Explain: The ground for collaboration within the seminar is trust. On an individual level, trust is the certainty that things will happen according to my expectations and wishes. On a group level, it is a generally supportive, well-intentioned attitude toward each other. Rules help to facilitate a working culture which enables me to be trustful.
2. Present the rules below and ask your participants to discuss them. Furthermore, ask them, what kind of other rules they'd like to add.
3. Let the group discuss or divide the group into smaller groups.
4. Let the groups or individuals present their results and proposals to the plenum
Discretion rule |
“What we say here stays in the seminar room.” This confidentiatlity also includes pictures, stories, or videos, which are not allowed to be shared in social networks without explicit permission. |
Stopping rule |
"Whenever a participant feels uncomfortable with something that happened or is about to happen, they are allowed to say: STOP." In this event, they do not have to participate and do not need to explain why. |
Disagreement rule |
"Everybody has the right to agree and to disagree." Minority perspectives must be heard and respected, which also means that no one’s experience is marginalized or put in relative terms by the majority. The group does not have to agree – but everyone should at least try to increase empathy. |
Reflection
- What was easy, what was difficult to agree?
- What was the most consensual aspect?
- How do you feel with such rules?
- In what form do you prefer rules?
- When thinking of our group as a part of the society - do we have enough or too much rules? Did we forget something important?
Variation
For the next step you might use another method like Code of Conduct.
