2. The group discussions
Each group started the discussion talking about each experience of communication gap. The facilitator guided, but the discussion was going forward with the participants.
At first, the participants put separately the keywords related the experience of the communication gap. Once the amount of keywords are gathered, the keywords are compared each other. While comparison is done, they discussed about the keywords deeply so that the essential is extracted.
The outputs of three groups are shown as the pictures below.
3. What is sustainability for this session?
Always the communication gap exists, however when we take care about this, we have to be open and the mind would broad-en. Recognizing the various communications gap is important and when we talk about the sustainability, the communication gap exists also and the same things are needed because sustainability contains the various points of view. There is no determination of sustainability and there is no determination of communication gap also but these two things are same for being required analyzing and thinking.
Essential of the communication gap is the relation of the cause and solution for “communication”. When it is not sustain, there is the cause and the solution is needed but first of all we have to recognizing that it is not sustain. This process is similar with recognizing the communication gap.
Development of this kind of process is needed and necessary for well communicate about sustainability.
