Drawing<br />

Development means to me...<br />

Purpose: To reorient an ethnocentric concept of development.<br />

Description: Each participant draws on a piece of flip chart paper<br />

without using words, his or her individual understanding of the<br />

concept of "development" or the theme of the workshop. For this part<br />

of the exercise allocate between 15 to 20 minutes. Some participants<br />

may want to cut and paste with various coloured <strong>VIPP</strong> cards. Back in<br />

the plenary each one explains the meaning of his or her drawing. They<br />

are then put into the "exhibition gallery". Then comes a discussion on<br />

the diverse forms of understanding of development or the workshop<br />

theme. This leads to a reflection on different perspectives and cultural<br />

preconceptions and values.<br />

Remarks: Be aware that the discussion should not end up with one single<br />

correct definition. This exercise should be complemented with inputs about<br />

the history of the concept of development or development theme/development<br />

theme in western culture and the diversity in that concept worldwide.<br />

Another procedure is to use a good article for the same purpose.<br />
