23. Learning Intention: Learning the first skill, Collaborative Conversation
(CC)
â˘Leaders have to be able to lead professional meetings.
â˘Talking is the foundation of a civil society, it is the major
skill used in conflict resolution meetings.
â˘Collaborative Conversation, (CC) gives a clear structure to
develop productive outcomes, with a group or as a life skill
within yourself.
Step 2 - First Skill of Collaborative Conversation

may come to mind. All nominations are well received.
⢠Clarificationâ Everyone expands upon their nomination as
noted by the recorder.
⢠Discussionâ Everyone has the opportunity to question
others nominations.
⢠Conclusionâ Decisions made as to next steps agreed by
the group.
Step 2 First Skill â Collaborative Communication
25. Working in groups of 6
Use the CC structure to establish a group name.
â˘Brainstorm - everyone puts forward names which they think will be
suitable. (A Recorder takes notes )
â˘Clarification - each person gives a reason for the choice of name
â˘Discussion - each person can question clarification with responses
from nominee.
â˘Conclusion - decision or vote to agree name.
Activity 2 - Our Peace Group Name
28. ď˝ Leaders have to be able to lead professional meetings. Purposeful
Listening (PL) is a crucial skill to ensure this happens.
ď˝ When interacting, people often become distracted, thinking of other
things, such asâŚ
any messages on my mobile
what to wear to the party
what are we having to eat
what should I say next
Step 2 â Second Skill â Purposeful Listening
29. Working in groups of 3 and number each either 1 or 2 or 3
No 1 talks about any chosen problem to 2 and 3
No 2 and 3 consider as the listener are youâ
thinking about what you want to say in reply?
looking for an experience that matches theirs?
looking for a solution?
Looking for agitated body language?
Listening for specific adjectives used to describe the incident?
When No 1 finishes No 2 and 3 discuss what you were thinking about whilst listening to
No 1. Did you both think the same?
Activity 3 â What are you listening for?
30. As a Peace Advocate you should â
⢠listen without prejudice or pre-judgement ,(as a stranger)
⢠not show any facial expression,
⢠not interrupt,
⢠not react if the person accuses or blames,
⢠take notice of their body language and tone of voice.
Guide to Purposeful Listening
31. This activity is to listen to what is actually being read.
Still working in your group of 3
No 2 reads a short factual report to No 1 and No 2
Listeners give feedback on what you heard. Did you both give the same
feedback?

âI enjoy my Saturdays and they are precious to meâŚâŚ However, Iâd
give up another one in a flash if I thought it would be as enjoyable,

It was a day which connected with hearts and minds..â

Notas do Editor
This quote is one describing our young people. It demonstrates a changing society where many homes do not have a supportive family network. Our young people crave attachment and want to be a part of a group. Having no role models in the home they do whatever they think is right to ensure they belong.
This quote gives the view point of reformed gang leader. These first two quotes give the reasoning behind the development and need for a Rotary Peace Programme
This is the powerful Peace triangle, which demonstrates all the elements fitting together to support the Peace Programme
Further explanation of the Peace Triangle. RAGFP stands for Rotary Action Group for Peace.
One of the tools we can use to make this resolution come to reality
Overview of skills programme Rotary Peace Advocate Programme. Highlighting the term âConflictâ instead of âPeaceâ as the main focus of the programme.
This slide will keep us on track. It will make sure that we have something to gauge our work against and know what to look for as we work through the programme
We have to understand that Peace starts from within ourselves. If we feel internal peace we will handle conflict positively.
Conflict is part of everyoneâs life. It happens to everyone at some point and continually throughout our lives. It is how we deal with it that will make the difference. The Rotary Peace Programme will ensure that young people will develop skills to allow them to understand and deal with conflict, empowering them to work through conflict to embrace success.
Overview of the programme. Using 6 Steps to create Peace Advocates. There is a choice for our young people to develop a peace project whenever they feel it is appropriate to their school or community.
The First meeting with the young people needs to set the scene. The leader may wish to use previous slides to help create an understanding for the questions, âWhy are we here?â, âWhat are we going to do?â, âHow will coming to these meetings benefit me in my life?â, âHow will I know when I have achieved the skills to become a Peace Advocate?â
Worksheets and games are attached. Conclusion describe how the programme builds on info identified i.e. communication.
We would discuss with the group the points on the slide before full explanation
The skills of Collaborative Communication form a process of reaching decisions and being able to make informed choices.
These were all pervasive skills are introduced and continue to be used in all the situations that our Peae Groups encounter encounter.
Brainstorm â we put down all ideas, everyone contributes but no discussion at this point
Clarification â If you have put an idea down now is the time to say why you felt that it should be referred to
Discussion â We each make a case for why you feel that an idea should or should not be there. All the information is being shared in a fair way
Conclusion â decision is based on a better understanding and as a group vote to reach consensus.
The skills of Collaborative Communication should be used in everyday life to seek better solutions but need to be linked with the further skills of Intentional listening which you will hear more of. We would like to share with you the results of the process to reach our group rules.
Talk through the steps to CC and ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of each step. Explain only part of process. How do we get the whole group name from today?
