Hypothesising culture

If you had eighthours to cut down trees how long would you spend sharpening the blade?

Abraham Lincoln

They are clever enough if I am good enough.

How are our beliefs formed?

Imagine an empty bucket.A blue ball is dropped into it. Then another and another.

As more blue balls go in the bucket becomes known as the blue ball bucket.

But then a red ball is dropped in, and another, and another.

Whilst the blue balls remain in the bucket it soon becomes known as a the red ball bucket.

Beliefs are the same.

We stat off with beliefs about singing for example.. As young children most of us belief we can sing. We grow up singing. For any one .. All the time!!

Then we get some negative feedback (red ball) and we start to question whether or not we can sing. As a consequence of this doubt we begin to sing less confidently.. (cognitive dissonance) and now, as adults most of us believe we cant sing.

The same is true of drawing??

This is how beliefs are constructed.

The more balls of one colour we have the stronger the belief!

How do we as leaders change the beliefs/ balls of others??So what are trying to achieve for the young people in our schools.

Put up the stick man by itself. Ask groups to discuss what skills, qualities and attributes they want their young people to have by the time they leave school. On large pages of flip chart, ask them to record their answers around their own picture of a stick person. Take feedback from each group. (Make sure you have something pertaining to global citizenship somewhere!)

Put these up on the walls as theyll be used again later.******
