Ketso is a hands-on kit for creative groupwork

‘Ketso’ means action in Lesotho, where it was invented by Dr. Joanne Tippett in 1995

Invented because women didn’t tend to speak in mixed gender groups

Ketso was used in Southern Africa to help communities change this...

…to this: sustainable living

Then in my PhD research at the University of Manchester, to change this….

... to this, receiving £1.7 million of regeneration funding to implement community plan.

Since its launch in 2009, Ketso has been used in a range of contexts: research with 200 Tesco staff

… to engaging with stakeholders of all ages and backgrounds in health related issues

… to teaching and learning at all levels

..to engagement in Jordan, Peru, Rwanda, UK, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Russia, Palestine, Iceland

Outcomes can be transcribed & analysed (and the outcomes from today will be!)

Write / draw on leaves, using the pens provided so the leaves can be reused!

1 idea per leaf, write so others can read

Coloured leaves for different questions (write on the coloured side)

Time on your own to develop ideas, think then share

You will have about 10 minutes for each stage

We will introduce each stage, passing around the new leaf colour and with the bell

Keeping things moving At the first bell whoever is speaking has a moment to finish what they are saying Second bell – time for quiet (so we can get finished on time)

Evidencing social & cultural impacts of migration for Scotland – Overview of process What do we already know?

Unfold the felt after developing some ideas

Take it in turns to read out your ideas – one person reads one idea at a time…

… going around the circle. Place leaves on the felt as you read them out

Discuss the ideas after they are all on the felt

Point leaves at branches

Branches Education and Skills Economies (local/national/global) Culture and Arts Health and Well-being Community relations Integration, identities and histories Leadership and Co-ordination Blank – for ideas that emerge
