**Step 2: Let’s talk about how we talk**
Share mixed experiences, lessons learned, and strategies of the activist group / organization as well as those of the activists, related to sexism and racism. Look into:
(1) unstructured, spontaneous or ad hoc conversations around sexism and/or racism,
(2) internal organizational mechanisms for responding to denounced instances of sexism/racism on the ship,
(3) conversations among carers (crew) and cared for (guests) that touch issues of sexism/racism,
(4) interventions of the carers (crew) in situations of sexism/racism among cared for-s (guests), and
(5) working groups active on the issues of sexism/racism. Give examples. Open for discussion.
**Step 3: Guests and hosts**
Explain the constraints on the undoing of the carer/cared for division. On the Sea Watch 3, these are:
(1) temporal dimension of the relationship between the crew and the guests on board – short time spans, at least before the times of long stand-offs,
(2) logistical, skilled workload, security and safety issues that are basis for control mechanisms (e.g. taking away lighters from guests, not allowing them to certain spaces in/on the ship, not including them in work that requires specific skills) and coordination mechanisms, and
(3) issues of psychosocial and physical vulnerability – different survivors need different care, all carry traumas, some require specific medical care…
Think which of these, and to what extent, should and can be undone or modified in a way that introduces more mutuality, and which should not and/or cannot. Examples of challenging the clean division of recipients and givers of care on the ship: including guests in the searching for boats in distress with binoculars, in ship maintenance tasks and preparation of meals.
