Ideas for experiential exercise to open a facilitated conversation about an adaptive challenge?
Hello FC allstars! ๐ I am facilitating a 2 hour convo with 30 folks exploring the impact of the digital divide: "the gap between those who have access to technology, the internet and digital literacy training and those who do not." My instinct is to open with some sort of experience/exercise/simulation (20-30 min total) to help the group experience the frustration/limits ๐ that those without access may experience navigating our digital world. The goal is to raise awareness of, and help participants emotionally connect to the issue. What comes to mind ๐กis handing out cards when they come in that outline resources they have access to, and then giving everyone a timed task to complete, with rewards (surfacing the difficulty those without access could experience) Or perhaps setting small groups on a task together and then mid way through taking away a critical tool / blocking their ability to use something they take for granted... Then ending with a debrief -I suppose it doesn't even have to be tech related if I could connect the experience of frustration/limit to the topic afterward - My questions is: Has anyone done a paradigm shifting/awareness raising exercise like this? I'd like to make it as dynamic as possible but my brain ๐ง is coming up short. Any examples used with different topics are welcome ๐ Just trying to spark my own aha so I can create the conditions for the same surprise/gestalt shift in awareness ๐คฏ for the group. :) Thanks in advance for any suggestions/examples you can share or point me toward.
