Social Space Communication Kit

Designed to provide an inclusive and accessible means of communication the social space requirements for individuals in a social or group context.

Components include:

• Common area - Used to represent a common space that is shared by all members of the group, and connects to the personal areas
• Personal area - Used to represent the personal space owned or designated to a member of the group, and can be connected to the common area (but not to other personal spaces)
• Meeples - Used to represent individuals that form a group

Using the Social Space Communication Kit to define and communicate personal space requirements

First, select a common area block that best represents the number of individuals within the group.

Second, assign a personal area block and meeple to individuals within the group.

To indicate that your personal area is open to the group, connect it directly to the common area. To indicate that your personal area is closed to the group, disconnect it from the common area. Place the meeple in the common area to indicate your need for social connection, or if you want to indicate the need for some solitude, place the meeple in your personal area.

Group interactions are defined by the general code of conduct of the group, and applies to all meeples in the common area. Personal communication requirements are defined by individuals, and applies to meeples in their personal area.
