Train-the-trainer: Dilemmas
3 groups worked on a few identified challenges. The work done by these groups can form the background for further production of contents.
1. Lack of analysis
Achieving common meanings/clear definitions for concepts
- Growth
- Market
- Profit
- Efficiency
- Productivity
- Money
- Policy
- Cooperative
- Community
- Property rights
- Value
- Capitalism
- ...
This work on the definitions can continue, in the logic of creation of a vocabulary
2. How to get people experience that their economic facts are relative ?
Good experiences of posssible other lifestyles :
-Ex in Brussels Bike assistance in Brussels for people who wangt to bike in the city for the first time. -Assisted shopping .
- Vegi-day,
- coocking together
-eating together
-manage your tavel on ecological way ...
Present the new experiences not as alternatives but as mainstream experiences.
Give the people that they have more controle on their lives through those experiences.
some examples on online support, mapping alternatives: hitchwiki.org, trustroots, trashwiki, transformap.co, ....
3. To think with new mental structures
Education!
- de-learn, de-school to open space for alternative
- art to think outside the box
Building new stories
Learning about other cosmologies
creating safe space where people have time and energy to find new ideas
Can we implement those solutions in our everyday life ?
Change your lifestyle, yes if it is progressive.
I think that it is sometimes difficult to promote new lifestyles
with people coming from such different backgrounds.
The challenge is thus to find different ways for encouraging
and disseminating those new lifestyles ... adapted to ther different cultures
and contextes.
