| <br/>'''Friday, 11 November'''
| |
| | |
| <span style="color:#ff0000;">'''Note: this was pushed from happening 'Monday 7 November due to a dubstep party that started early (it was on the calendar for 8PM).'''</span>
| |
| | |
| <br/>Order of Events:
| |
| | |
| *Explain goal of the evening: have everyone collectively generate a statement of Occupy Boston's values that can act as a guide of what to add to the [[Statement of Purpose]]
| |
| *Why not focus on actions, demands, methods tonight? One of our goals in the Ideas group is to ''try'' to help grow a statement that all of Occupy Boston can get behind. One idea to do this is to start with VALUES.
| |
| *Examples of switching actions, demands, methods and statements to VALUES:
| |
| **"go after your congressman!" -> value: accountability
| |
| **"correct fundamental inequalities" -> value: fairness
| |
| **"shouldn’t demonize conservatives because they disagree" -> value: inclusivity
| |
| | |
| [[Examples of]]how Values translate into Action.
| |
| | |
| *We will have 3 parts of the meeting:
| |
| | |
| 1. Overview of collected responses for the past few weeks to the question: "What are the values that we, as Occupy Boston, all share?" here are word clouds made from this collected information:

| [[File:Ideas values raw.png|300x358px|RTENOTITLE]][[File:Ideas values reworded.png|300x383px|RTENOTITLE]]
| |
| | |
| We will break out into groups and add change, and discuss this list. We will then come back to the larger group and report on small group break out discussions.
| |
| | |
| 2. We will break out into new groups and decide on what values on this list do people feel should go into the [[Statement of Purpose]]. This could be any amount of values, but we are suggesting 2-5 for this first attempt. We will then come back to the larger group and report on small group break out discussions.
| |
| | |
| 3. Lastly, we will split again into groups and see if we can write a sentence or two that expresses the values collaboratively decided in Step 2 into the [[Statement of Purpose]]. Groups can start:
| |
| | |
| *with a BLANK piece of paper
| |
| *a copy of the [[Statement of Purpose]] to edit, or
| |
| *have an action question that they are answering: - What are the values, that we, as Occupy Boston Share? or: - What is the mission, that we, as Occupy Boston Share?
| |
| | |
| We will then come back to the larger group and report on small group Statements and edits. This will go a long way to adding to the [[Statement of Purpose]]
| |
| | |
| '''Followup''' We will post all of the Statements and notes from this meeting in a new page called [[Values Addendum to Statement of Purpose]] as well as post the proposed changes to the [http://main.wirite.org/documents/20/ Occupy Boston Statement of Purpose] on the site [http://wirite.org Wirite] where the changes can continue to be worked on:
