Conceptual change is an emotional as well as an intellectual process. During the
Sharing Power Conference, the
Te Hau Mihi Ata team of the
university of Waikato gave an interesting presentation on the dialogue between indigenous Maori knowledge and modern science. They analyze the
negotiated space needed for this process and I noted their the criteria for facilitation: language, environment, attitudes, relationships, negotiation, tolerance, let people contextualize the issue, influence through integrity, be solutiuon-oriented, have time to process, set rules for engagement, have concept translators. They also stressed that the framing of the issue is key.
