COFFEE + ARRIVAL
*ppl arriving slowly, in the beginning a bit of stress in the air bc the breakfast caterer had to cancel due to covid, but after some minutes of ppl getting stuff from the kitchen it gets relaxed and chatty*

BARBARA
*gives a review on the last session in radialsystem on individual practices; this time less structure, less input*
ALICE
these three days are a preparation session.
BARBARA
we want to get concrete in this session. so we're gonna try to really collect concrete problems and questions, burning issues, we want to touch and go into case studies. the topic of ethics is very broad, so we don't want to just touch it on the surface.
ALICE
we want to go deeper with this issue.
BARBARA
you want to add something here?
ALICE
the idea is that in order to go beyond general notions, what is ethically good, actually open ethics as a place of problem. if we look at a concrete situation, we can unpack it and see why there's an ethical issue at stake. to separate it a bit from the making, that could be maybe more in governance, the making of rules, but also, what is the space for hesitation? how do we deal with the situation without refusing to take responsibility? this is why through everything, whenever concrete cases come to mind, note them down, so we can see what we feel is appropriate or useful, to bring forth and to work.
SIEGMAR
*gives an overview of the day*
on wednesday morning, we can we can gather again and see what is needed, because last time we found we were left with so much and didn't have time to chew on it a bit more. But also this is a preparation for the whole year, and the preparation for something to hopefully build together. so it's just a way of how to get to know each other, because one of the things that came up is trust and trust building, so I guess all of this is contributing to getting to know each other in our differences.
BARBARA
*on some practicalities, and suggests an introduction round*


INTRODUCTION ROUND
*everyone says their name and pronoun*

SIEGMAR
my pronoun is she/her, and I'm trying to build up the courage for they/them
*laughter*
