Working criteria

Criteria for a good dialogue• Take your time. A dialogue is a form of slow thinking, focused

on depth. • Listen carefully. Ask questions. Transfer your thinking into the

thinking of the other. Take a look at the world through the eyes of the other.

• There is no need for an immediate decision. Understanding and understanding each other's ideas is sufficient.

• Don't think as in an opposition to others (‘Yes, but '). Think with the others, think together as a single head ("Yes, and").

• Don’t get obsessed with finding solutions. Investigate the underlying reasons, values, or visions of a problem or a solution.

• Make room for new thinking. Go beyond your old thinking.

Criteria for good questions

• A good question contains a verb. Something you do

• A good question contains a concept to investigate, explore

• The verb stimulates the process of inquiry• A good question is answerable = you an find

examples• A good question creates commitment, the

desire to investigate.

Examples• Can a good person be boring?• Can desires be educated?• Should social workers live exemplary?• Can you lie to yourself?• Is unconditonal help possible?• Is caring for yourself equal to caring for another• Is it allowed to interfere with somebody else life?• Is the connection between freedom and responsability

necessary?• What helps you to make good choices?• How do you decide what is good for you?

About answering questions

• Try to find examples which are factual and experienced

• Try to connect the answer to the question.• When an answer does not raise any further

question then the answer is satisfactory and complete

• When an answer is not subject of any possible counter-example, contradiction or exception then the answer is complete
