Tools for Doing Equity and Privilege Activities Online

 

We are doing some basic awareness level work with some staff, but due to the restrictions in our area we have to do this work online.? Do to budget restrictions we have only two sessions and staff can select which date they would like to participate.? 103 staff will participate in total, but we do not know how many will choose to be on each day.? We would like to do some common face-to-face activities like the Privilege Walk (take a step forward if...) and are looking for some tools to do this with.? I came across this, which works pretty well, except that the no answers get a red mark and the work "incorrect".? Here are the types of tools I'm thinking of...and they need to be a) simple, b) easy for tech novices, c) not expensive, d) can manage 50+ people without difficulty, and e) not cumbersome when used in combination with Zoom (like multiple browser windows/tabs).

- "leaderboard" type display that can be morphed to show more or less privilege
- matrix display where information can be clustered under topics - marked by the participants
- continuum display where people can adjust their marker in response to new questions (they need to be able to track their marker amongst 50+ people

I know that Mural and the Zoom whiteboard can be used for some of these, but I am concerned about the numbers of participants managing their markers in those kinds of displays.

I am very open to other ideas as well...what have you done to help large groups increase their awareness of privilege in online activities?

Thanks!!

Ikebana: a virtual retreat #facilitation

 

If you would like to start September fresh and connected with peers, exploring different territories of being a Present, Powerwise and Playful facilitator, I would love to welcome you to Ikebana: a virtual retreat for advanced facilitators.

Ikebana is the Japanese modern art of arranging flowers, of harmonizing humanity and the (natural) world. A living art which changes and is informed by the culture and the times. I chose this term for the retreat because facilitation to be is like a search of balance between different elements, in and outside the room.
A while ago I shared on the need for creating boundaries so spaces for more autonomy and freedom can become possible. This mash-up of concepts from the East and the West has pushed me even further me in creating a learning journey like this for the advanced facilitators.

Please sign-up here:

With gratitude,

Re: Workshop Break tool combo? countdown + YouTube + image

 

Lucas for the win - thank you!!! Rather, maybe 90% of the win. How might we add custom text onto this page as well? For example, I often share a simple to a folder of shared resources or a Miro "gallery" or a poll during the break.

Also, for those of you who want to use the African Conference break playlist put together by a colleague and Qiqo-ed with a timer:

Help?

I'm looking to up my game for a remote workshop break next week. I've been using for the countdown and YouTube for music videos, and then using the Zoom option to share just a part of my screen, so they both show neatly in a frame.
<image.png>

But now I need to add a little text - or, ideally, a pretty image of that text. Is there an elegant way to integrate all of these - countdown timer?+ YouTube video?+ image - where I can just set something up, click go, and then have it run, while also not having it monopolize most of one of my screens? I tried on Miro, but I can't find a big timer, and there seems to not be an option to embed an entire YouTube playlist, just one video, so I'd have to advance to each embedded video manually - not possible for my multi-tasking busy self.

Current set-up attempt below - functional but challenging to set up correctly in the moment and anything but elegant.

Re: Workshop Break tool combo? countdown + YouTube + image

 

Hello,?Sarah, thanks for sharing that brilliant idea for combining a?timer + YouTube album.? I needed something like that!

In response to your question, I spent about 15 minutes playing around and?made a? using a custom HTML page on QiqoChat.? It?combines a timer that?I found online at TickCounter with a YouTube?playlist.

The timer is one webpage that embeds two webpages?inside (YouTube + TickCounter), and to make it useable is necessary to change the size of the browser?once you open it... make your browser narrow, hover over the top half (the page from TickCounter), and then scroll down so that the countdown numbers are showing like this:
Screen Shot 2021-07-08 at 11.09.20 PM.png

Anyone here is welcome to share and use that timer; even multiple people using it at the same time will not affect each other.

If you would like to create a similar timer on?Qiqo with a different playlist, you can follow along with this?, and here is a where you can see that the tutorial is quick -- just copying and pasting embed code from two places.

If you're interested in?facilitators and event professionals sharing more tips like these with each other, ?(free).? We will use liberating structures for participatory sessions on these four themes:
  • Remote
  • Hybrid
  • Community Building
  • Facilitation

Hi Linda,?
Your use of the words emergent, intersectional, and liberating caught my attention.?

I've been taken with the work of on developing a Liberatory Consciousness. Her website might offer some help on framing of goals and reflection practice questions that can help push the boundaries of current experience.?

My other feedback may be less welcome, but I feel compelled to voice it gently. I hear a tension in what you are asking for: emergent goals (complexity aware), new intersectionality, and widespread participation but also not wanting to take a bunch of time. Yes, navigating time zones needs to be done, but I'm not sure it's realistic to open up people's thinking, get broader and non-siloed ideas and coordination, and regular meaningful engagement without taking significant time and reflection. You are talking about deep shifts and expanding shifts, within individuals and within an organization--expecting that can be accomplished via only light touches that are mostly asynchronous seems like a poor match to what you are seeking. Moving at the speed of trust, lifting up relationships, paying attention to process--these are the things that allow people to move into expansive, liberatory and new spaces and to do so together, across siloes. I would urge you to work with consultants to design a process for this kind of change that suits your organization and the specific experience you are seeking. You are up to something that can be transformative if done with true reflective practice and prioritized with time and engagement.?

Good luck! It's sounds like such worthwhile work.
