Diyalog yönteminin ayırt edici özelliklerini ve bu yönteme uygun tutumları açıklayın (ağırdan alma, konuşmaktansa dinlemeyi tercih etme, hemen hüküm vermeme, sorular sorma,pratik ipuçları bölümüne bakınız). Odağınızı diyalog yöntemi üzerine çevirip bu yöntemin özelliklerini anlatın veya katılımcılara münazara ve diyalog arasındaki farklılıklara ilişkin tabloyu dağıtın (pratik ipuçları bölümüne bakınız). +
<span lang="EN-US">1. Read the introductory text of the first scenario, ask if everything is clear.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">2. Play the introductory video of the scenario which sets up the dilemma. The next screen will show the four possible ways to act in this situation. Read these aloud for the participants.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">3. After the introductory video, ask participants to individually write down on a piece of paper (this should take approximately 5 minutes):</span>
<span lang="EN-US">a. What they observe in this scenario</span>
<span lang="EN-US">b. What they recognize in this situation</span>
<span lang="EN-US">c. Which action choice would they pick (A, B, C, or D) and why</span>
<span lang="EN-US">4. Allocate each corner of the room to one of the action choices (e.g. corner 1 = A), ask participants to stand up and to stand in the corner of the room which corresponds to their choice. Participants may choose to be in between action choices (e.g. between A & D), just ask them where they stand.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">5. Go around each action choice and ask participants why they picked that choice. Do this until every participant has shared their views, or participants feel others have already shared their views. Also ask them reflect on what they saw in the scenario if it is a familiar scenario.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">6. Briefly ask if anyone would change their initial answer after this discussion, if yes ask what would they change it to and why.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">7. Ask participants to sit back down, and watch the outcomes videos of each action choice. Start with the video with the most responses.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">8. After watching all the videos and seeing the different outcomes discuss as a group:</span>
* <span lang="EN-US">a. If they were able to choose again, would they choose differently? If yes, what and why?</span>
* <span lang="EN-US">b. Which action did they find most empowering?</span>
* <span lang="EN-US">c. What did they learn from this scenario?</span>
<span lang="EN-US">9. Ask participants if there is anything they would like to add. Help summarize the discussion and the outcomes which were discussed. Draw attention to that there are many more different ways to act in these situations, and that it is important to evaluate and reflect on what they need in the situation.</span>
Participants are encouraged to watch the following videos to learn more about the efficient management of plastic wastes for sustainable and green labs:

Varieties of goodness in research - a rotary style exercise (variation to original VIRT2UE exercise)) +
The participants move clockwise to the next flip-over sheet*, so each subgroup now works on another Variety of Goodness. First they read what the previous group wrote down (or drew) on the sheet. They can augment on it, or ask questions to the other group in case they don't fully understand what's on the sheet.
Their task now is to link the Code of Conduct to the Variety of Goodness. Looking at the work of the previous group can help them to identify the relevant paragraphs.
'"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000001-QINU`"'depending on the logistics in the room, you can also chose to let the subgroups stay at their table and move around the flip-over sheets. +

Starting a podcast does not require complex or expensive equipment. What matters most is having a clear setup that allows you to record understandable audio.
To get started, you need a basic recording device, such as a smartphone, laptop, or a USB microphone. Headphones are useful for monitoring audio quality and avoiding echo during recording. It is also important to choose a quiet environment, as background noise can make audio difficult to follow. Simple setups are often enough to produce clear and effective podcast episodes .
After recording, audio can be edited to improve clarity. Beginner-friendly tools can be downloaded for free and allow you to trim recordings and adjust volume levels. More advanced software exists, but it is not necessary when starting out.
To share a podcast, you need a hosting platform that allow you to upload episodes and distribute them to listeners .
Good tools support clarity, but they do not replace good content and structure. A simple setup that produces clear audio is enough to communicate ideas effectively, reach an audience, and build a consistent podcast. +

'''Political action'''
Recognise that sustainable approaches to research and innovation exist within the context of wider political systems. Identify research and innovation priorities which can contribute to a just transition towards a sustainable society
Be aware of the access to knowledge, networks and platforms that your role entails, and use this to promote environmentally and socially responsible action. Strategically engage in policy dialogue and participatory processes for green initiatives as part of the research methodology or innovation cycle, when appropriate
'''Collective action'''
Remember the importance of teamwork and collective action in tackling environmental (including climate) issues. Demonstrate a capacity for accessible and collaborative work, for example through open science and FAIR data practices.
Support environmental and climate positive initiatives within your research field. Collaborate with multiple actors (such as policy makers and local communities) to shape sustainable approaches to research and innovation
'''Individual initiative'''
Model sustainable practice in research and innovation – including methodology, materials selection, and project goals. Recognise that everyone has a role to play in fostering sustainable approaches to research and innovation. Be accountable for the environmental and social impacts of professional activities, and take corrective actions where needed. +

Use you own research to '''reflect on the cards''' questions
OR use the scenario described above to:
*'''Reflect''' on how the question applies in this setting.
*'''Identify''' possible tensions or risks (e.g., exclusion, harm, extractivism).
*'''Propose''' a climate-just, community-informed course of action. +

Inform your trainees about what to do in preparation for the training by asking them to read "Preparation for Virt2ue training" (for trainees). Set clear deadlines and give clear instructions (including contact details) for the submission of the required preparatory material (i.e. Self-declaration sheet and case reflection form). +
Continue the conversation between the two groups and ask them to try to make it a dialogue instead of debate. The observers get to call for a time out when they feel the dialogue shifts to a debate. +
Varieties of goodness in research - a rotary style exercise (variation to original VIRT2UE exercise)) +
Again the Variety of Goodness are rotated (either by rotating the groups of the sheets to the next table). After reading, where possible augmenting and asking questions on the previous work done on the sheet, the subgroups now reflect on the Variety of Goodness by relating it to their own experiences. They can look back at their preparation sheets and see if they recognize the Variety of Goodness in there. Maybe the work that is presented on the sheet or the examples given by others also trigger new examples. +
04 - Moral Case Deliberation: A Method for Analysing Cases in Research Ethics and Research Integrity +
This step involves the formulation of the personal views, values, norms, arguments and choices in relation to the case. The participants express their own views of what they consider to be right.The facilitator might ask the participants to individually address the following points:
a) It is morally justified that I choose option … (A, B or an alternative).
b) Because of…. (which value or norm?)
c) Despite of…. (which value or norm?)
d) How can you limit the damage of your choice mentioned under (c)? +
After analysing different possible courses of action, students identify those that are morally justified. +
02 - The Seven Steps Method: A Method for Analysing Cases in Research Ethics and Research Integrity +
*Are there any precautions you can take?
*Is there any way to access more support next time?
*Is there any way to change the organisation (for example, suggest policy changes at next departmental meeting)?
+
