Meeting with Downside Up about the DEI event

--- Jantien, Ken, Gina, Nadine, Akshay + Downsideup ---

  • Started with the introduction about everyone

  • Nadine took one of their courses in the past

  • Laurens walks around the campus to train PhD students and also has some technical background with later focus on psych. health and helped design the game along with Jip.

  • Nadine summarised the need for DEI and events

    • Started with Womens's day where it all started
    • Raise awareness of all the problems
    • We did not want to preach but instead practice along with the group. Thus the need for some outside training.
  • (L) What would be the focus and who are being trained here?

    • Approx. 30 peers that would require the training
    • How do we perform as a group but we are looking for internal dynamics within the group...
    • We do not have a specific date on mind but would be open for one or more sessions if required....
  • Does the group have a vision about DEI within the group?

    • First focus is within the group to improve and understand our own biases
    • (Jip) Are there specific things that we are trying to focus on??
  • (Jant.) We are looking for insights and not really solving any exisiting problems....

    • Happy to hear from downsideup on ideas what could be done??
  • (Jip) Understand focus areas that can be improved

  • (L) (10 blocks) Workculture canvas -- What kind of behavior we encourage or discourage as a group??

    • Can be translated to the individual perception?
    • Do we have certain rituals? Operationally how are decisions made? Does expertise play a role? What are the rules are kind** of obey? Implicit rules about (say) being late*** Small little things that could become a part of hte culture*** Evalutate how happy are we with the current situation??? and how can we set the priority and decide on the rules for these things...
    • This could be a starting point for the discussions
    • Has different topics within DEI, so what could focus within the group using this as a understanding tool as oppsoed to education (game usage)
  • Canvas is not done via a game, but the game has a more interpersonal relational part canvas is a more rational part.

  • How to get the canvas ( Make together with the team, what are we doing right now)

    • Being it all together and identify which parts we like to focus on
    • Think on making new agreemnts on chaning (say one thing) -- For a few weeks
    • Strength of this canvas -- Gives the group a chance to be involed collectively and then make a decision on a very group level (personal) discussion. Make everyone the owner of this trajectory.
    • During this session, how easy do we find to have these discussions
    • There is curiosity but perhaps there are unsaid things we have not addressed
    • (Jip) both tools are diagnostic tool
  • (G) Is this one session or different sessions. Subject to how we want to spend the session??

  • (Laur.) have dialogue about say what we mean psyc. safe, meaning does not mean we be challenged

    • Do we recognise where we draw the boundaries??
    • Provoke someone in a systematic way
    • Different methods to recognise and address these responses...
  • Working format*** over the line/across the line

    • To identify alignment in the team
    • Few statements and then alignment with the statements
  • Different starting levels about DEI exposure and understanding

  • Is there a sensitive topic already we are aware of...

  • First session then we can explore how to create a blueprint...

  • Format of the session how is it setup

    • How easy would it be to participate?
    • (L) We can keep things light weight without downplaying
    • Energiser - Form two rows: What animal does the animal do they remind you of? and why?
    • How do we share reflections/constructive feedback/energisers
  • Just creating awareness is not enough, so having agreements, decisions, with a conclusion *** Post - session discussion, make them aware of the results while we are discussing ***

*** Check in the typeform with others and then send ***

With 15-20 people - need 2 trainers so the cost will be included in the budget....

(G) What about live or online/remotely etc.... (L) There are ways to accomodate hybrid but it would perhaps negatively affect

Jan. 2024 - Plan + Cost deatiled in the budget....

20-25 people, biggest room possible so that there is more focus, perhaps best to station it away from the actual workplace...

  • DEI events we have had answers where we have received negative comments
  • We are reaching out with experts and we would like to share it with them (phrase)
