Title | The Inclusivity Train |
---|---|
Purpose | This method aims to a) safely surface and address power dynamics and asymmetries and b) highlight diverse voices and perspectives which might not be present in the room. |
Time | 15 minutes to one hour |
Description | This method is the result of ongoing transgressive experiments in stakeholder engagement, intended to provide a safe space to address key issues groups have a hard time discussing openly during exchanges, but that are present like a big elephant in the room, hence adding legitimacy to the process. Relevant issues could include power dynamics, trust issues, pending conversations, unresolved problems, big interests, emotionally loaded situations, political repression or anything considered a “hot topic” by the participants. by doing so in a reflective, non-confrontational fashion and giving room for individual contributions with the use of creative images. |
