I'd like to ask for some advice those of you with some experience along
these lines.
In a few weeks I'm going to facilitate a group of youngsters ranging in
age from, say, 10-18 -- about 25-30 of them. There will be some adults
mixed in as well.
They are all volunteers and there should few, if any, "prisoners" in the
group. The session will be two-three hours long, and we'll be using The
Electric Maze as a learning field. One of the main purposes of the
session is to learn more about how to involve ourselves more deeply in
education and family issues.
Since the opportunity is so rich with possibility to learn (we'll be doing
some videotaping, etc), I'd like to do some more learning of my own before
the session.
What experiences and suggestions can you share? I've been wondering how a
group of youngsters are the same as, and different from, a group of adults
in a business organizations
We give a lot of thought to the issues that face people in business and
non-profit organizations, but I'm wondering what issues do younger people
live with that are most pressing to them. How can we carry LO concepts
into families and groups of children? When I think of LO in education, I
see a lot of issues that deal with the institution, itself, that enables
children to learn. But now I'm wondering about the children themselves.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John Dicus
