Good questions
take us further.

Young people need not find every answer alone.

Learning and mentorship help us see questions clearly, hear different experiences and form our own judgement.

01

Notice questions around you

Begin with everyday observation. Understand the relationships between an issue, people, community and environment.

02

Bring different experiences together

Bring a concrete question and leave room for different answers.

03

Keep learning through practice

Try a manageable action, record changes and share reflections.

04 / PERSPECTIVES FROM ACTIONFIELD NOTES

Let one person’s reflection become another’s beginning.

FIELD NOTES / OBSERVATION

Observe.
Ask.
Then act.

TODAY IS A START.

See your community
through a familiar route.

Walk a familiar route slowly. Who uses it? What makes people feel cared for? What could change? This observation exercise is a place to start today.

  3. Ask a question worth discussing together and consider a small change to try.
ASKING QUESTIONSHow do we ask a question worth discussing together?

Start with a concrete observation. Describe what happened, invite other experiences and form an open question together.

ACTION NOTESKeep the process and reflection on one page.

Record what you noticed, tried and learned, and what you want to understand next.
