Notes for facilitating:
Write definitions down beforehand, enough paper & pens for everyone
Be responsive to what people say, include that, make sure they get answers → notes
0. Introduction, e.g. round; name and what do you expect?
Laurinas ideas: want to provide a different perspective on sustainability- more human focused. Get you tinking, maybe bring cosciousness about the theme, ideas inspiration from others, BREAK (long enough), digging deeper, see where it goes, getting concrete
1. Define: Read out and personally explain all e.g. on a board
Sustainable: sustain + -able (ability)
Definitions:
is on the one hand something, that doesn‘t only results in a short-term effect but a long lasting impact. In the ecology the term describes that only as much is used, taken or made dirty as equally regrows or regenerates itself. (ich-tausch-nicht-mehr.net)
the ability to be sustained, supported, upheld, or confirmed.
Environmental Science. the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance (dictionary.com/browse/sustainability)
Meeting the needs of a generation without affecting further generations to meet their needs
Laurinas ideas: about taking and giving, taking what you need (not too much) and giving back what you can (with regards to your environment, nature and all livings) no problems for the future created, german nach halt ig → to keep (in it)
Human relationship:
Definitions:
Relation: - an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together
HR: a relation between people (thefreedictionary.com/human+relationship)
HR: The interaction, connection, association or involvment of human beings (Laurina)
Laurinas ideas: When do you have a relationship with someone? When does it end?
Do you have a relationship to yourself?
...to your busdriver? ...the person that built the house you are in?
Sustainable human relationships:
Definition:
a human interaction that includes the possibility to be long lasting, not leading to burnout, giving and taking are subjectivly balanced (Rosina, Laurina and yunity people)
Go through definitions, do you understand them, do you agree?
Maybe write in own words, possibly find your own (different) definitions in order to be able to go forward from here and work with them or just stay in silence for 2 minutes :-)
2. Exercise: stand up, walk around, when I clap, get together in pairs, pair number?
stand/sit opposite to each other, answer the question by telling your opposite person about it, not long, around 2 min each
think about a person you have a sustainable relationship with (maybe an intense one, not neccesarily partner)
How/When did you meet? What do you do in the time you spend together, you have in common?
What do you give the person & what does he/she give you?
What makes your relationship special?
Laurinas ideas: Aggi, did many different things together, are very different, sometimes closer sometimes further, know and value each other
3. Find out what makes human relationships sustainable on a concrete level:
Write down 1 point on 1 paper
(think about the person from the exercise, but others as well)
What kind of things do you give and take? Which aspects are the most important ones?
Laurinas ideas:
time spent together, the will/wanting it, the ability and acceptance for distance, trust, honesty, being able to have and solve conflicts, appreciating constant change and that you are not always right
collect in cluster method topic wise, add to it if you have a similar one
→ smmarize clusters, name/topic or else
BREAK (15-30min, long enough!) look at clusters again, pick one or two interesting or difficult for you, at the end of the break go to this one (physically spread the clusters in the room)
4. Digging deeper: groups good size (3-5)? and go more deeply into topics depending on time and size
Find out what they really mean (what is trust?) advantage, disadvantage
How they can be achieved, what hinders it (go back to examples from earlier)
present to whole group (if interest and energy)
5. Concrete and personal: Take 10 minutes time for yourself, ask and answer yourself the questions
Go back to thinking about the person from before.
Is giving and taking balanced? For you? For the other person?
Think of a relationship you have, that you would like to make more sustainable.
What is the problem? What about giving and taking is not in balance? What could you do in order to make it better?
Write down conrete points (e.g writing a letter, making a call, telling him/her something or changing an attitude)
6. Feedback-round
How was it for you? What did you learn, what are you taking away?
If you would like share what kind of measurements you want to take to make a relationship more sustainable
what could be done better?
