This weekend I am at the StreetSpace Gathering. It is a coming together of about 35 people from across the network with 18 of the 36 projects represented. The whole event is developed using a participative processes. Last night we kicked off with a pictionary ice breaker (draw an activity you do the others dont know you do). The aim is to encourage an equality across the group and not go for the I am XX with this many young people in our contact etc.<\/p>\n
We then used a random word generator to spark a creative thinking process as the begininng for the themes we will discuss as a group over the weekend. The Random words were:
\n– Turntable
\n– Leaflet
\n– Mystic
\n– Passive
\nEach table mind mapped the words and then people swapped tables to gather the wisdom from the other.
\nWe ended up with three themes we will discuss as a whole group this morning:
\n– How do we develop mysticism and next level spirituality with young people?
\n– Social media – Practical advice, Benefits, and Communication
\n– Being Authentic Us and Others
\nWe also developed a further 6 themes we will use in break out groups.
\n– Values
\n– Mentoring Peacemakers
\n– Change what does it mean?
\n– Learning Passive and Active – How do you build emotional intelligence in an active learning style\/ with chaotic yp
\n– Money
\n– The Balance Mission\/Personal\/Professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
