Method & animation
pre-phase: make it clear
With the idea to empower participant, to give some kind of equity between invisible people and facts by writers of History, and so on and so forth.
Very short: A typical workshop start with a Specific Event or topic to investigate and begin at the birthday of the younger attendee.
We can use wall, pen, papers or web app to drawn the timeline and write and stick events plus explanation
- Explain the context, the idea and the intention
- Ask if there are any problems or uncertainties
- Clearly explain the rules of life together, for example: code of conduct
- Clearly state and display the time frame and the total duration
- Tell, explain and display the theme of the session “tiny story, Grand History”.
- Make the theme of the session clear (e.g. a specific historical event (the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic) or a collective theme (the rights to medically assisted reproduction))
1st phase: individual writing time
- 20 to 40 minutes, or even 1 hour
The first step consists of an individual writing instruction to write one's personal, educational and professional story, from birth to the present (45 minutes to 1 hour in a calm environment): “Starting with your year of birth: write down the year, and at least two columns “tiny story” and “Grand History”.
What brought you there? What has been constitutive of your values, your awareness of the world, or has built you as an adult, …. including of course positive or negative events (a failure can give rise to a turning point).
Scop Le pavé
Participants are given personal and individual time to prepare and fill out a table with one line per year.
- The first year can be the year of birth,
- The last one being the current year
- and 3 columns,
- the first one to write the years,
- the second one for the tiny story,
- the third for the Grand History.
The small story means our personal history, the big story, everything else. During this first hour, you will have to find an anecdote for each blank space in the table, which is significant in relation to your presence here in this instruction:
What elements of the tiny story and Grand History have brought you here today?
