Care Ethics Mapping
A 75-minute case exercise from the Uni Bern facilitator guide: for a real complex challenge, map on sticky notes who needs care and who gives it — deliberately including future generations, distant people, and non-human stakeholders — then embody several of those perspectives with empathy before brainstorming what care-based action would actually look like.
- The guide's own stance applies: every step an invitation with an opt-out route; embodying an affected stakeholder can move people
