4/24 Daniel Banks: Leaving a Community Notes

Here are some of the components of "leaving a community" from Luis, Molly, and myself:

  • Feedback, from both the practitioners and the community
    • multiple forms/levels: written, verbal, drawings, ect.
    • finding the most appropriate form within the community itself
  • Evaluation
    •  Successful or unsuccessful?
    • Did this follow 'what success looks like?" from before even entering said project?
    • Can there even be evaluation? (if the project ended or is to be continued)
  • Sustainability (if any)
    •  Will there be a community appointed person to continue the project? 
    • or, will there be a person who stood out during the process who will become a pin-pointed person to maintain communication with?
    • If it was a one-time project, was it documented to be remembered?
  • Reflection:
    • Similar to previous: was it documented?
    • Was it successful? Can it be evaluated?
    • How can this be reflected upon?
  • Acknowledgement-Thanking each Other
    • Everyone involved - community and practioners
    • Respecting the traditions of appreciation in a community
  • Collective Meaning Making
    • A culminating event to celebrate an end of a project, or the practitioners involvement with the project if it is ongoing
    • This can include the acknowledgement/reflection aspects as well
This is what I have from our large page of fun colored notes. Hope everyone is having a good week and charging through these last few weeks. We can do it! <3
