5.5
Identifying the Knowledge of the Community
Description
This activity opens up the question of where we locate knowledge in our community. Participants examine their own experiences and the kinds of knowledge they have gained through these experiences and encounters. They also explore how different kinds of knowledge have more power than others, therefore causing some voices to be deemed more important and valuable than others.
Learning Goals
Participants will have a deeper appreciation for the multiplicity of knowledge in a community, ranging from informal to formal structures and personal to cumulative understanding
Participants will question how knowledge is valued in society and who or what is served by this ranking
Practice Time: 60 minutes

This activity could possibly pair with Activity 1.8, which evaluates current discussion style. After completing that evaluation, this activity could be used to help participants envision and set goals or intentions for how they would like to participate in discussions going forward.

This activity helps develop a skill that is useful in many contexts, including in the classroom, workplace, community and even at home.

I am waiting for someone to try this activity out and share it back with us. This is probably one of the most ambitious activities in the toolkit. I really love it but I have not had the opportunity to try it out with a group. Please someone try this and share back!

Another all time favorite. I really recommend this activity when you are trying to think about the complexity of a social topic and who/what is impacted by it. It pairs well with the Divergent Thinking/Surround the Topic activity. This activity also includes a really helpful worksheet for capturing types of stakeholders.
