Instructions

  • Ask the participants to think about the situations in which, during a typical day, they are ‘forced’ to trust strangers and acquaintances, starting from when they leave home in the morning, until they come back home in the evening (5 min)
  • Everyone makes a list of all of these situations on a paperboard and compare their own list with those of the others in the group (10 min)
  • Discuss with the group about the list (15 min):
    • Have you listed single individuals or organisations?
    • What public or private organisations do you most often rely on?
    • Do you know if there are tools to check whether these individuals or organisations are working for the public good?
    You can also propose this activity in a quicker modality, asking just one participant to make publicly the list of situations related to their own typical day. The other participants listen and contribute to it if needed

POSSIBILE VARIATION

DIGITAL TOOLS

  1. Use a video conferencing tool like Zoom, or any other platform that supports online meetings and breakout rooms.
  2. Online Collaborative Whiteboard for visualizing participants’ lists of trust situations and taking notes during the discussion. Some options include: Miro, Mural, Jamboard. Jamboard is easier if each participant makes his/her own canvas for listing the situations and organizations/institutions trusted. Miro on the other hand provides limitless canvas which could be more useful if participants brainstorm together in the online session.
  3. Consider using online polling tools like Mentimeter to gather quick feedback or responses from participants during the discussion. This can help keep the session interactive.
  4. Utilize the chat or messaging features within your video conferencing platform for participants to communicate during the activity.
  5. Track your Time by using online stopwatch or timer website. For example, you can use websites like Online-Stopwatch.com.

Before the activity, make sure participants are familiar with the tools you plan to use and provide clear instructions on how to access and use them. Test the tools and your workflow in advance to ensure a smooth and efficient online session.
