Target audience
A SEnS workshop gathers up to 15 people working in scientific research: researchers, but also engineers, administrative or associative staff whose work is related to the production of knowledge and technology. A research group, a lab or a university can for example host a SEnS workshop.
Deployment
One or two persons are in charge of facilitating the workshop. At least one of them must have already participated in a SEnS workshop, read the documentary resources, and completed his/her preparations by discussing with other people who have organized such a workshop. Anyone fulfilling these conditions can deploy the workshop in the context that suits them best. It is of course possible to adjust the proposed setting as one sees fit.
Everyone who has attended a SEnS workshop is welcome to make it his/her own, to adapt it to their own research context and to contribute to its improvement.
Required equipment
- No computers for participants! The workshop can take place indoors or outside.
- Pens, tape, scissors, a table and a large white paper sheet (A0 or larger). One can replace the table by a board (in that case, prepare post-its rather than blank cards).
- A timer (a watch, a smartphone etc.) to keep track of time.
- 10 blank cards (on card stock, 6 cm by 4 cm) per participant, plus 20 extra cards. Cards can be replaced by post-its.
- One copy per participant of the program [Download].
- One copy of the resource-cards for the cartography of values and dependencies [French version only for the moment].
- One copy of the question-sheets for the exchange based on the documentary resources [Download].
- For the documentary resources, it is recommended to bring one printed copy of each text (or several copies of the texts that the facilitator would like to read) [link to the documentary resources].
- Between 5 and 10 copies of the event-sheets for the prospective sequence [Download].
