Communication

2. De-segregation of yourself and by others

ACTIVITY		5 minutes
	Should I do the activity alone?	It is best carried out in a small group. If you are in a two-parent family, try to do the activity together. Invite your child as well.
	After completing the activity…	I should be able to: Agree on a common understanding that clearly defines the basis and ways of working together, build mutual respect and understanding. Starting point of all activities and discussion is: All participants are equal, not depending on age, gender, profession, cultural background etc.
	Before I start, what will I need to do this activity?	Print a copy of the 10 DOs and DON’Ts for each participant
What do I have to do? All participants are invited to carefully read the do’s and don’ts Then they should mark up to three in each category in the four colours: Colour 1 for those issues that are easy to follow Colour 2 for those issues that are difficult to follow Colour 3 for those issues the participant totally disagrees Colour 4 + extra space on the papers for what is missing Regarding the results discuss what urgently has to be changed in any case
	What to do next?	Think about your understanding of mutual respect and acknowledgment of diverse backgrounds, experience and competences. What can you do for it to become a reality? What can you do to raise awareness and mutual understanding?
