Ordinary objects for extraordinary feedback

A temporary installation where the participants can share their personal preferences, objects and visions, regarding their place of belonging. Bringing a personal object can encourage participants to share inner thoughts, setting the mood for giving and receiving feedback.

Tools

  • Personal Object(s)
  • Tables
  • Pencils
  • Tags (small and big; two different colors)

Steps

  • The facilitator must launch the activity on-line or offline (preliminary activity), asking participants to bring with them object(s) that represent themselves, in relation to the feedback question.
  • The facilitator asks participants to label the object, with the following information: title, owner, description of the object and why did you choose it.
  • The facilitator then asks participants to place the objects within the exhibition (near an object that relates to their own item). 
  • The facilitator then asks participants to fill in another label, giving feedback (e.g. what do you imagine for our community’s future?)

Tips

  • The facilitator must be prepared to have an active role, introducing the goal and the rules of the activity.
  • During the activity, the facilitator must guide participants to talk to each other and to participate in the activity.
