"Doubting, Believing & Sharing"
Activity
Summary
Participants practice believing wholeheartedly in a position, then doubting and critiquing that same position to eventually come to the intersection of perspectives around the issue.
Instructional Strategies
1. Pick a difficult topic around which there is conflict and get everybody Ãbelievingà they are right about one side of the problem - absorbing, defending, and adopting the arguments.
2. Then get everyone together Ãdoubtingà that same problem - deconstructing and critiquing it.
3. Finally, encourage participants to find the points of intersection between the doubters and believers.
4. Facilitate a discussion and help participants articulate their own position, drawing from the perspectives of both the doubters and believers.
