Communication

2. De-segregation of yourself and by others

2.2. 10 DOs and DON’Ts

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?
