Argumentation
  • Most often experts are called to deliver knowledge to listeners, they come to deliver their truth and go. In complex topics, we need to accept the fact that every participant is, to some degree, an expert within his own field. To balance the need to listen to participants voice while also using experts knowledge it can be interesting to reverse the traditional schematics.
We called experts for some workshops, but we designed events so that experts would come and observe the work of the participants, listen to participants and react faterwards to what is said to bring the discussion to a higher level.
