Wording:
The workshop uses spectrum of discussion to help participants to discuss different provoking statements hiding misconceptions against the Poor from the Global South, to introduce the concept of derationalisation and to re-evaluate students’ own views upon poverty, all in order to prepare for meeting the Poor.

Introduction:
In this workshop, we want to prepare participants for meeting the Poor, although it<br /> should also spark reflections about meeting the <em>‘Other’</em> of any type.<br /> <br /> At DNS, we travel to learn. We meet various people to recognise many different<br /> perspectives and therefore have a better understanding about the world at large. But, it<br /> is not enough. We are all biased because of our background: social, economic, cultural.<br /> Whether we like it or not, our perception of reality is distorted by many misconceptions<br /> present in our environment.<br /> <br /> With this workshop, we intend to smash all what we know about other people into<br /> pieces. We want it to be provoking, uncomfortable and moralising. We don’t want to<br /> tell you the truth about all possible groups of people but rather to help you in finding it<br /> out in any situation – or to be more precise – help you not to fall for easy conclusions,<br /> prejudices and misconceptions on your way.<br /> <br /> There are four important aspects of fighting prejudice that will be tackled here:<br /> <div style="margin-left: 40px;">-an open mind,<br /> -right questions,<br /> -theoretical knowledge,<br /> -and, what might surprise many, self-awareness.</div> <br /> An open mind will be useful in accepting that what we think we know, even our core<br /> concepts about the reality, might turn out to be uncomfortably false. It will also help in<br /> listening to the teammates and anybody we meet and recognise our lack of knowledge.<br /> Knowing right questions will enhance our ability to search deeper and not to jump into<br /> conclusions based on a superficial perception of reality. It will keep our observations in<br /> check. It will help us to put ourselves in other person’s shoes.<br /> <br /> Theoretical knowledge is power. We cannot discover everything by ourselves, we need<br /> to use other people’s work. Researchers over years collect, analyse and publish all kind<br /> of data which can support us in all kind of situations. They are not without flows, we<br /> know that at DNS and do our best to keep both in check by combining theory and<br /> practice which are inseparable.<br /> <br /> When we meet people, we cannot help but make judgements. In this unavoidable<br /> process, we might tend to see ourselves as more rational, morally better or superior<br /> than other people. Being aware of why we do what we do, think what we think, maybe<br /> why don’t appreciate what we have will be crucial to understand the ‘Other’. There is<br /> no reason why the Poor should be denied wanting the same things than those in a<br /> better material situation just because they lack nutrition or education.<br /> <br /> If we are able to have an open mind, ask right questions, know some data and be aware<br /> about ourselves, we will be more successful in avoiding derationalisation of other<br /> people’s actions.<br /> <br /> Derationalisation is usually an effect of lack of knowledge about the ‘Other’, which we<br /> replace by imagining stupid reasons behind his or her actions. Derationalisation comes<br /> from not being able to put ourselves in other person’s shoes and thinking we would do<br /> better. If I were ‘them’, I would spend my money on garden farming rather than a<br /> smartphone. <em>Well, how many of us who are part of this workshop do garden farming<br /> and don’t have a smartphone? Why wouldn’t ‘they’?</em>
Directive:
1. Improve the level of the discussion about the Poor.<br /> <br /> 2. Share data within the subject.<br /> <br /> 3. Fight misconceptions.<br /> <br /> 4. Introduce a term of derationalisation.<br /> <br /> 5. Make students understand that the Poor have the same needs and wants like<br /> everybody else.<br /> <br /> 6. Define the Poor.
