Learning from accidents
It's all about people!
How we learn from surprises, novel situations, turbulences, failures and accidents is largely dependent on how we relate with people.
Do we see people as hazards and objects, or do we really see them as equal others?
Most of us relate with people in the i-it. We assume and tell and the other person will tell and assume. But there’s another way to relate with people in the -thou where we ask open questions and listen so the other person will listen and ask. This is a person oriented way of learning and living.
Do we want to control people, or do we really want to listen and ask questions?
Learning is a process
During the workshop we will work in small groups and learn how to map conversations on a whiteboard.
As we map the conversation, we realise the power of listening and how spoken language can give us access to what we believe and how we make decisions.
We learn with people and not from them and moreover, the entire process is designed to embrace fallible humans and not to control them.
The mapping process is based on the iCue method in Social Psychology of Risk (SPoR). The entire process is very engaging; it brings to surface the assumptions and biases that we often tend to underestimate in our forms and checklists.
Semiotic (experiential) walk - a treat for your eyes!
For the curious ones, at the end of the session we will go on an experiential (semiotic) walk after the session. During this walk, we will learn how to observe the environment, how space influences our behaviour, how our hidden beliefs constrain our ‘vision’, and most importantly, how to appreciate and learn from our differences.
It’s your town, you can decide where to go for a walk – a church, a museum, science exhibition, town centre or even a graveyard. You will learn how to make the familiar strange, how to understand another person’s ‘view’ and to truly discover how to observe the world and write ‘observation cards’.
A method to understand fallible humans
You will receive a training manual, a pocket guide and a set of tools and methods to apply learning in practice. All our tools and methods are based on Social Psychology of Risk.
