Notes Towards Day 21 (Tues, Nov. 15): Welcoming Parkway to Bryn Mawr!

                                  



(more pictures of our last get-together)

I. Gather in Dalton 300: welcome!
--Anne
We've planned an hour's plus of activities to get us all thinking about space and education.

II. "Where the wind blows"
(5 minutes) --Sarah
one person in the center: the wind blows for everyone who (like me!)....

III. gather, again, in small groups
(for 20 minutes) --Jody
1 Bryn Mawr student from each section, plus 3 (?)  Parkway students

[picking up on our diablog question from
two weeks ago: what are you passionate about?]
on a (non) sticky, everyone please write down

1) where in your life do you feel most creative and alive?
--in what kind of space might that happen?
share w/ your group/call this out

2) where in your life do you feel you have the most to learn?
--in what kind of space might that happen?
share w/ your group/call this out

3) where in your life do you feel that you have the most to teach someone else?
--in what kind of space might that happen?
share w/ your group/call this out

IV. Walking around (for 30 minutes) --Jomaira
pocket those non-stickies!
given what we're just talked about, decide together where you want to go;
use this time to keep on talking-and-learning about each other's worlds
(BMC'ers: don't feel that you're giving a tour!)

IV. Re-gather in Dalton 300 @ 12: 25 --Anne
don't sit w/ your group/ mix yourselves up/
sit next to someone from the other school.

Turn to your neighbor(s) and say:
What did you see as you walked around campus?

In particular, what did you see through one another's eyes,
that you might not have seen on your own?

Call out some of this in the large group.
If you were drawing what you saw, what would the picture look like?

V. What are we learning about the sorts of spaces all of us we need to flourish?
...we'll go on talking together in our diablog about what we're teaching one another.
Thanks!
