Introduction to Pines Calyx Workshop

  • The main aim of this workshop is to test some of the m21 research tools and methodologies.
  • We have chosen you specifically because of your individual background and experience, and we have therefore assigned you to one of 2 teams, each team including 5 participants.
  • We will ask you to please stick to your assigned team for the duration of workshop. This will help us to assess the different processes that take place in each team.
  • Supporting the 2 core teams, we have also invited 6 special advisers, who will be available on call during the entire process to give advice to the teams as and when needed. You can read their biographies in your pack. Some of them will also give brief talks to compliment the workshop themes.
  • Some of us (the research team) will be facilitating and documenting the entire process, via sound, video and in writing.
  • This morning and just after lunch we will run several workshops for each of the two teams, that will kick-start the metadesign process. In the late afternoon you will have a chance to develop metadesign briefs in your team.
  • Tomorrow we will run an evaluation workshop, after which the teams will have an opportunity to present their briefs. There is a timetable provided in your packs.
  • We hope you will enjoy the workshop and have fun!

Jonny should then give a very short (2 minute) introduction to the technology

  • From time to time someone will clip one of these (lapel mic) on you, or give you one of these (table mic) to record what is said during the workshop sessions
  • You mute them by pressing the button (flashes red when muted)
  • You un-mute them by pressing the button again (flashes green when live)
  • If you want to discuss anything private (or go to the loo) just mute!
  • We aim to always give the same numbered mic to the same person when possible
  • Cameras will also be filing as much of what goes on as possible - but you will all have veto (somehow) over whatever might be published.
  • Please ignore all this as much as possible!
