Target Groups

Everyone, especially people with many privileges so that they can have a better understanding of their positionality.

Description

This is an exercise dedicated to understanding (as a group) the privileges and/or oppressions each of us is facing in their everyday life. Each group has one big Canva with a pie indicating a set of society privileges and oppressions. On the table there are small stickers of 2 different colours. Each participant selects the privileges - oppressions that resemble them and accordingly puts the stickers over the society privileges and to the oppressions. Goal is to better conceptualise and visualise our positionality and the positionality of the whole group/table at the same time. During this exercise or even after it, there can be an open discussion sharing thoughts and feelings about the outcomes/observations. This tool can be used either in a group or individually. The tool has its origins in Morgan K. P. (1996), where it was proposed as a diagram to understand the hegemonies within American society. We further enriched the diagram and adjusted it into the local contexts, so that it can be used as a tool for local activities and research.

Approximate Duration

Feedback from youth workers during the ToT

We can use the oppressions from the privilege pie as a tool (i.e as an indicator) to the exploratory walks and create a collective mapping of public spaces and how it reproduces these oppressions (representations in the city).
