Instructions

N.B. It is best, before starting this activity, to propose a preliminary activity based on ethical dilemmas to clarify the concept of delegated power and conflict of interests (See ‘Ethical Dilemma’ https://momoeu.chance.international/activities/ethical-dilemma/ )
  • Ask the group to think about different categories of risks (e.g. what can go wrong), taking into consideration both the group’s specific context and the topic of the monitoring, such as: family environment, professional environment, school environment, etc (5 min);
  • Write one risk per poster (max 4) and place them in different corners of the room: invite participants to move around the space in silence and write (directly on posters, or on post-it) behaviour strategies that could avoid those risks, You can use instrumental music in the background for focus(15 min);
  • Invite participants to collectively read everyone’s proposals and formulate a personal list of rules that they consider necessary to limit the risks that they could individually face within the community, or collective (conflict of interests). This process is done through individual reflection (20 min);
  • Divide the participants into groups, where each participant has to read and justify with the group their personal list, making sure to leave time for feedback from other group members. Each group then draws up a shared list of rules (30-40 min);
  • Repeat the process of the previous stage in plenary: each group chooses a spokesperson to read the list collectively prepared and discuss it in the plenary, in aim to have a shared list for the entire group (30-40 min).

DIGITAL TOOLS

Digital tools you can consider:

  • If you are working online use a video conferencing tool like Zoom, or any other platform that supports online meetings, but also breakout rooms.

  • Explore online collaborative whiteboard platforms like Jamboard, Miro, or Canva to make 5 digital posters before the meeting.

  • 3. During the meeting in order to capture the answers of participants on the risks, use the same online collaborative whiteboard platformm selected in step 1, where each group can have a dedicated space/page for the answers with sticky notes, and each individual can easily move through the 5 posters to see the answers of the other groups. Use the same online collaborative whiteboard platform for presentation of the individual reflections.
