UniSA Relationships in motion

Relationships drive in change our world. However positive change hinges on our ability to sense and communicate hidden value within everyday situations – becoming present and adaptive to our surroundings. Yet we are too often stuck in our habits and lack energy for curiosity and exploration. We could embrace life as a Moving Puzzle. How do you playfully reveal hidden qualities in yourself, objects, relationships and environment? This journey of our self-awareness, self-discovery and self-expression helps us understand that value lies not solely within ourselves, but in the network of relations we craft, and social capital we build together.

Themes:

1. Relationships as interaction –and behavioural flexibility within changing relationship situations

2. Trust as active process – relating skills that improve sensitivity and shared situation awareness

3. Leadership as emergent property of groups – moving beyond human capital towards social capital

Outcomes (based on the science of wisdom):

1. Truth – theoretical understanding of the play-science approach to relationships

2. Power – practical skills for breaking out of comfort zones of interaction

3. Presence – experience using theory and skills to build trust, connection and deeper relationships

4. Belonging – awareness of how our personality and character not fixed, but rather revealed in context
