Evaluation/Tasks from TTT Pilot

Visualizing the core module being given in other partner course.

 

1 day o 1,5 days.

 

  1. Basics of degrowth, introduction to degrowth, more formal presentation (method) like the one the academic group has prepared. Esplain why we are talking about the degrowth. With the discussion at the end. It could be at the first evening.

 

  1. Path (optional method)– the connection to the place.

 

    1. We do not have to cover all the subjects that was covered during the walk. We can do some.
    2. We should understand the authors but than we have also to understand that they have different concerns and how they link with each other.

 

  1.  Forum theatre (optional method)
    1. Should be better planned, and in advanced. Maybe we can invite a professional director.
    2. We should have a good description of the forum theatre.

 

  1. Mapping (optional method)
    1. Mapping could be related to the practical part of the course, it could happen later to link practice with theory.

 

 

IMPORTANT: We have to prepare the materials before the course. We have to tell as much as possible before the course, background for the course. Than people can follow the course better. It also concerns methodology.

 

We do not have to make Forum theatre and mapping all together. Maybe we can chose one of these methods because we also need time to reflect and digest everything with calmness.

 

We have to identify the objectives of what the learner should learn on the course and suggest some methodologies.

 

CHANGES

−        The “experts” should stay the whole course, not only give a conference but also participate in the group work

−        Content: less details and to analyze them more profoundly.

−        Content: more history of growth, degrowth, concepts and authors better presentenced to be easy to remember

−        Enable the participants to make the connection of the theory they learn with the practical parts/life. Mapping can help.

−        To help make the connection between the theory of degrowth and the background of the participants. Like the visualization exercise at the end.

−        Networking between participants, good presentation of participants, giving their background at the beginning so that they can relate theory to practice. Than the coordinators and experts can link peoples individual experiences to the theory they talk about. They can include the participants to enrich the theory by giving their examples.

−        Replace the icebreaker from telling about when we bought our underwear to show our underwear.

 

Visualizing the TTT module being given in other partner course.

General ideas:

- start with expectations and experience round

- we can introduce the teaching methods beforehand or even ask people to share their experience in the registration form

- put TTT aside from the rest of the program (1 - 1,5 day), although it also has some benefits when participants are able to work on their assignment (presentation) already during the course or at least overnight

- open space --> peer learning about teaching methods

- let the people reflect on methods that were used during the course

- use short activities (1 - 1,5 hour)

 

Module structure:

  • 4 presenting styles (academic, interactive, practical, poetic, political speach?)

- keep it the way we did in Can Decreix – short input, experience sharing, group work to prepare a presentation in each style

  • 3 aspects of degrowth frame (philosophy, organization, politicization)

- take more time for this, bigger and more practical tasks for working groups

- the philosophy part can be worked before by every participant (reading)

 

Changes:

- include real work and issues: in the TTT working groups (both presenting styles and framework), the participants could work on an actual course or workshop that one of them is planning to give. This would make the exercise more specific but it needs some preparation (ask participants to bring their own ideas, ask about the stage of their course in the registration form)

- workshop on the online platform – it can be used for research in the working groups, this way also participants become more familiar with the platform

- add body language and how to act on stage, non-violent communication, game “crazy degrowth professor”
