Week 04 Collaboration 2012


Collaboration

 

Class Outline

For this week’s lesson we learnt about Ethical behavior, followed by a blog exercise. The class was then involved in a group exercise “Trust and creative partnerships”.

 

 

Blog Exercise: Ethical Behavior.

Trustworthy and ethical behaviour in collaboration may relate to:

• acknowledging discomfort or anger

• being prepared to fully participate

• communicating in an open way

• honesty

• honouring commitments

• sensitivity to social, cultural, personal situations and dynamics

• showing respect

• understanding of the consequences of actions

 

Task: Add 2 items to the list above - then SORT the 10 items into 2 groups.

1. Essential

2. Secondary (give at least one example for each group)

Items Added:

            Listen and offer feedback, and aid if asked or needed..

Examples:

Some people may be sensitive about their artwork and other people can find it offensive if they get offered help, and take it in spite.

You need to communicate to learn and take note of what is happening.

 

Group Exercise

Trust & Creative Partnerships

Part 1: Who’s got a dollar?

A demonstration was used followed by silent reflection. We were to answer these questions:

1.      Would you volunteer your money – this is, take risk?

Yes, I believe I would (but I had none).

 

2.      How did you feel?

A bit weary of what was going on.

 

3.      Did you feel a little ‘Sheepish’?

Yes.

 

4.      What about when the ante was upped to ten dollars?

Why not?

 

5.      Twenty?

Yes, but no higher.

 

6.      Did you think the volunteers were foolish?

Not at all.

 

Part 2: Eye Contact.

Shy:

I was facing basically a stranger face to face in the eyes; it’s not usually something I do. I felt really nervous and avoided eye contacted

 

Trying:

This time I was trying to get out of my comfort zone, yet it was with a different partner this time.

 

Goofing off:

I was trying to get this this partner to laugh by wiggling my nose, I admit I was being silly.

 

1 Step closer:

I felt butt naked and fixed to an open shop window.

 

Comfortable view:

This for me was at least 3 steps back, smiling and looking more.

 

Holding hands:

            I was not happy.

 

Furthest Apart:

            I was thrilled.
