Homework for participants 

Not submitting the HW on time may disqualify you from attending the conference (you can contact Ivan earlier in case you have any questions)

1. Conflict

Think of a conflict [alternative: disagreement] you had which you'd want to talk about.

For this conflict, try to briefly describe:

1. The situation of the conflict itself or what it was about (1 or 2 sentences, as abstact and anonymized as you feel comfortable with)
2. The personality of any participants beside yourself (2 or 3 sentences per person at most).
3. Their relationship with or towards you (1 or 2 sentences)

2. Feedback

Think and write down two situations:

• First situation in which you struggled to give feedback because you didn’t want to hurt the person you were giving feedback to. How did you feel before giving the feedback? If you, in the end, didn’t give the feedback, how did it make you feel now in the retrospect?
• The second situation where you gave feedback but the other person was (very) defensive or where you got feedback on your feedback that you were too harsh. How did you feel afterwards?

3. Area level or regional topic or project

Identify a topic that is relevant to your area or a regional project idea you would like to work on. Please specify it in writing using the following format:

1. What is it? (describe the topic or problem)

• What is the current situation (context)?
• What is the complication (problem)?
• What is your question (most relevant to the topic that needs to be answered)?

2. Does this topic need action?

3. Does the topic need more than one action?

• If yes then what is the desired outcome you would like to have at the end?

4. What could be the next visible and observable (by others) action?
