Meta points
DONE Don't forget to record the session!
TODO Pre-PAR — Review the intention: what do we expect to learn or make together?
Dress rehearsal of the Bristol workshop
Agenda (Part 1) - Phase II (play-by-play)
Introducing Phase II
Converting Phase I mind map into org-roam network visual
How to classify these notes?
By CLA level?
Questions that we need to answer:
What needs to happen from the end of phase 1?
How does it go into phase 2?
How does phase 2 happens?
Play-by-play of the entire workshop
0930-1000. Arrival, tea and coffee (Waterside 3)
1000-1030. Media screening (Cinema 2)
1030-1230. Session 1: experts to citizens (Waterside 3). This is about context, stripping expertise, going to the root myth.
Introduce the workshop theme and core question using slides [AT]
Introduce the workshop format using slides [JC]
In short, if the problem could be solved by individuals using standard methods it probably would have been done already.
1145: LV is available and we begin a process of condensing what was done in phase 1
Distil everything into one overall map
1230-1330. Lunch (provided)
Working lunch for facilitators, so have a premade lunch
Finalise distillation of map
Walk through map with Noorah from 1300
Ensure that we have people only as citizens, not as experts; they have reached a ‘centered point’ in which everyone is harmonized.
1330-1500. Session 2: citizens to action (Waterside 3). We want to generate patterns with some degree of mobility from the original context.
Joe to provide some
HOWEVER
BECAUSE
THEREFORE
SPECIFICALLY
cards and show how to use themParticipants continue to work in small groups to explore scenarios that explore the original problems, and come up with coherent next steps
Introduce the Lounge tool for Phase 2
Pictures of these can become proto-patterns, see example below; these are the prismatic reflections of the original problem AT presented
With given proto-patterns, ‘However’ means a bridge between contexts
Leo and Noorah work in the background to turn patterns into a pattern language
1500-1530. Review and close (Cinema 2)
Screenshare Org-Roam-UI with basic patterns in it; as a prototype, can we view the central problem as the apex of a double cone of problems?
We want them to understand that this problem is related to a whole array of problems (things this is not, but things it is adjacent to); this will contribute to motivating the participants because they’ll realise they have new superpowers.
Who else do they need to talk to?
Not only are they harmonized (from Phase I, they are also somewhat unblocked)
1530-1700. Reception (Watershed bar)
1:30–1:45 Presentation of org-roam mindmap by LV and NA 1:45–2:00 JC explanation 2:00–2:45 3 rotations of 15′
BREAK
Agenda (Part 2)

PAR
1. Establish what is happening: what and how are we learning?
