Join us for another round of the Discussion Experiment! In this series of events, organised by our member Igor Don, we explore new techniques to make group discussions more interesting, fun, and insightful. In each session, we discuss a real question to test and refine the method while having a thought-provoking evening at the same time.
In the next round of the discussion experiment, instead of talking about big political or philosophical questions, we will use our method to make sense of very personal questions and dilemmas!
A volunteer will share a question that is currently important in their life and together we will systematically take the question apart and see which new insights and perspectives we can gain. This much in advance: On this evening we will help our volunteer to think about self-expression and the pressure to contribute something to this world …
Here are answers to some questions you might have:
First of all, what is a “discussion experiment”?
The discussion experiment is a method designed to discuss complex and controversial topics in groups in a way that creates more clarity, reduces misunderstandings and makes conversations more interesting, inspiring and fruitful.
This is achieved with a new moderation technique that slows down and relaxes the discussion and supports all speakers in formulating their statements in a very clear and focused manner.
In the personal edition of the experiment, we will use this framework as well as our diversity of perspectives to analyze a personal dilemma for one participant at a time.
Is this like group therapy?
No, this session will not be about discussing a person’s psychology or offering them comfort as a group. Rather, it will be about looking at the situation a person is facing from many different angles. We will take a more experimental and light-hearted approach to the evening.
Do I have to share my personal issues with the group?
No, we already have one volunteer, who will share their question with us. Depending on how long we discuss their case, other participants will also have the chance to discuss their own question with the group, but this will be strictly voluntary.
Join us for this experiment!
Participation is free and you don’t need to prepare anything, just bring curiosity and about 2 hours of time.
