Ethnography for action helga ögmundardóttir glasgow march 20 2015tu1204
Ethnography for action – can we go from planning by external specialists to co-creating our communities?
Experience from anthropology and ethnographic fieldwork.

Qualitative research, such as has long been practiced by anthropologists and many other so-cial scientists, is based on close interaction between researcher and the ones researched. Not only that; it is based on trust, mutual interest in sharing information, ideas and values, con-scious consent and general interest in the human condition, locally experienced and ex-pressed, but understood and evaluated in a wider context, even a global one. That said, it has of course gone through historical changes as the methods of all other disciplines, even trans-formation, not least since the middle of last century, when the innocence of the grand enter-prise of human progress and development was revealed as wrought with power-struggles, in-terest agendas and other not-so-noble processes and forces.
With a changing view of what society is about and where they are going with their research, anthropologists and other social scientists realised that their methods, theories, and not least, products in the form of texts had to be re-evaluated and their potential uses and abuses ac-knowledged. One could at least try to prevent the negative effects of one’s research-findings, on the marginalised and powerless, by starting out with a transparent agenda, laid out for the subjects of the research to judge, if they wanted to be in or not, and what they would gain out of it, if anything at all. Empowerment and agency became buzzwords and the researcher was to do the science as much for the natives’ enhancement as his or her own career. Critical the-ory and later postmodernism took over the stage from positivism and interpretive social sci-ence in social scientific research, not least with the aid of feminist theory and other ap-proaches, critical of research being just one more layer of oppression from the colonial establishment, patriarchy and ruling classes.
Ethnography for action or whatever else potentially empowering social research is called; ac-tion research, co-research, etc., belongs to a wide scale of methodological approaches where one is always conscious of the potential uses and effects of one’s findings, where research in the form of fieldwork is itself a transformative process, and where one of the premises of the enterprise itself is to remember that knowledge is never value-free but a historically produced and situational tool for whoever to use. So, if one wants to make a change, one can very well begin by lending a hand in communities where change is needed, in a way that the inhabitants will benefit the most. I have been involved in several research projects through the years which have been more or less empowering for the people under scrutiny, at least pers

A library visit is not just a number: The impact and value of public librariesChristian Lauersen
Christian Lauersen presented on the value and impact of public libraries. He discussed moving beyond quantitative metrics to understand the qualitative, individual experiences and benefits libraries provide citizens. Libraries offer emotional, intellectual, creative and social impacts through their programs, collections, guidance, facilities, and staff. Specifically, libraries function as havens for contemplation, provide enlightenment and perspective, foster togetherness and a sense of community, inspire creativity, and serve as trusted sources of information through the support of library staff. To better communicate libraries' value to society, a new language is needed that is used in political, workplace, library professional, and media contexts.

This document discusses the need for a new language to describe the value and impact of public libraries beyond just usage statistics. It proposes examining the individual experience with libraries and understanding the emotional, intellectual, creative, and social benefits they provide. Libraries are described as havens that provide perspective, build community, foster creativity, and offer trusted staff support and resources. The document calls for developing and promoting this new framework with library professionals, media, and political leaders to better articulate the value libraries provide for citizens and society.
A library visit is not just a number: The value and impact of public librariesChristian Lauersen
The document discusses developing a new language for describing the value of public libraries beyond just statistics. It proposes examining the emotional, intellectual, creative, and social impacts on individuals and then working outward to understand broader societal benefits. Libraries provide citizens with a haven, perspective, sense of community, inspiration for creativity, and trust. The next steps are to release this framework and create a new language to change perceptions of library value in political, professional, and public discourse.

23–25 May 2016, Krukmakarens hus (The Potter´s house), Mellangatan 21, 621 56 Visby / The Regional State Archives in Visby, Broväg 27, 621 41 Visby, Sweden
The document discusses the transformation of libraries from places that focus on information to places that focus on experiences and empowerment. It describes the vision for the new Dokk1 library in Aarhus, Denmark, which will provide 28,000 square meters of space including 18,000 square meters for the library. The library aims to support innovation, recognition/experience, and community engagement through features like workshops, gaming, and community spaces. It also plans to integrate citizens' services. The document outlines the cooperative design process used and partnerships with other organizations to define the library's functionality and interior spaces for adults, families, and children.
Public libraries in The Netherlands: a powerful networkFers
In this presentation I will briefly present the structure of the public library network in the Netherlands, with particular emphasis on the way public library innovation is “organised”. There is currently a community of practice (CoP) organised for every specific area of library innovation which at the same time also addresses officially established national priorities, i.e. lifelong learning, development of traditional library services, education of the young population, etc. Librarians in each of the CoPs share experiences specific to their field based on which they identify future activities aimed at the development of the particular field. Librarians included in this CoP system come from libraries of all types and sizes regardless of the province or region.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

10. Inspiration space
• The space for meaningful experiences that is to say
experiences that move us
• The space should open up to the irrational, emotional and
chaotic by communicating a diversion of aesthetic
experiences.
• This can happen through storytelling or other artistic
expressions within all kinds of media, cultural forms and
genres.
• The inspiration space should make the user want to move
beyond the usual choices and to come back.
• The library space in itself may also be an experience and
work as a stage for events and cultural arrangements.
• The inspiration space especially supports realisation
(cognition)/experience and innovation.

14. Learning space
• Space where children, young people and adults can experience
and explore the world and thus strengthen their competences
and possibilities through free and easy access to information
and knowledge
• Learning is seen as a dialogue oriented process that is based
on the users’ own experiences and their wishes to define their
own learning needs
• Often takes place in informal settings which do not have
learning as the goal – learning happens through play, music and
many other activities
• Should meet the needs of especially young people for a more
experience oriented learning through the development of playful,
interactive and social learning methods.
• Learning is strengthened through the use of homework cafes,
study places, open courses and experiment areas.
• The learning space especially supports realisation
(cognition)/experience and empowerment.Knud Schulz November 2014 14

• An open, public space where citizens as a third space
between home and work can meet others who are both as
themselves and different from themselves
• Arenaes, where you can meet other people with different
interests and values and encounter opinions that challenge
you through discussions and debate, are necessary
• In the meeting space both non-committal, random encounters
can take place through lounge décor with newspapers and
café atmosphere as well as more organised meetings
• This can take place both live and on the Internet in
chatgroups, blogs or other social media.
• The meeting space especially supports empowerment and
engagement

21. Performative space
• Users can interact with others for inspiration to create new
creative expressions in the encounter with art and culture
• Users can get access to tools that support their creative
expressions through interactive games and writing-,
sound- and video-workshops
• The users can also get support in their creative
expressions through workshops with professional artists,
designers, multimedia developers etc.
• Can act as a platform for communication by publishing
and distributing the work and products of the users and by
giving access to stages where users can perform and
express themselves.
• The performative space especially supports engagement
and innovation.
