Jessie: Method for Environmental Engagement
How a community could learn about its environment and how to engage with it

How a community could learn about its environment and how to engage with it, talking about how different personality types might respond following sort of a standard method of environmental engagement, like:
  • For a commons community’s effort to work with its environment
  • Considering the four general dimensions of  4D Sustainability (fig 1)  
  1. its main Outer connections and relationships with its environment (D1),
  2. its Internal Systems and relationships (D2),
  3. its “Bright Spots” as important distant relationships (D3), and the
  4. “Total Balance” or, how it all adds up (D4).
  • Following an  Action Research cycle, (fig 2)
  1. for first observing their environment, then
  2. reflecting on and communicating it,
  3. formulating a group response and then
  4. implementing it
  • and back to step 1, to learn about how the response fits and begin the next cycle

We could follow additional or different “dimensions” of environmental relationships than those four if we wanted perhaps.    We’d need a hypothetical case to consider.
 
I’m imagining we’d discuss how different personality types would do in different roles, for helping their community learn about and engage with their environment.  We’d first evaluate the personality type lists to see if they’d reflect different talents for environmental learning (like some good at seeing “the forest” and others “the trees” for example?) and different talents for communicating and social networking.

We might do one session discussing how different lists of personality types and different dimensions of environmental relationships, and then a second session taking the selected types and dimensions around the AR cycle to see how different personality types fit different roles?
