DEVELOPING TWO-WAY BIDIALECTAL EDUCATION

Rules for Two-way communication.

The first task at the workshop was to develop a set of rules to enable two-way communication during the discussions that were to take place over the two days.

  1. Let one person speak (and be heard) at a time, respect what they have to say.
  2. Be non-judgemental, honest, and trust the goodwill of other participants. DON'T GIVE UP!
  3. Give a faithful interpretation of ideas.
  4. Develop and clarify tasks in a two-way fashion, using non-jargonistic language.
  5. Respect diversity and different ways of doing things.
  6. Have fun and enjoy the two-way experience!
