Participants experience a situation where external perceptions conflict or support internal perceptions when analyzing a community. Participants gain understanding of the starting point of sustainability model. Participants gain knowledge of an existing organization with a bottom-up approach. Below is an illustration of the box presented to the participants. Ask the participants how many squares they see and compare scores.
Every answer is correct.
No one is really wrong, because their answer is what they are able see. Perceptions are important in bottom-up planning and deciding what is the problem and what is a good solution. The role play is intended to allow participants to experience conflicting perceptions of a problem between external organizations and community members. In each role play, there will be both an external and internal player. There should not be more than six members in a group.
