Description: Target Audience: School Staff, Administration, Teachers
This workshop is for teachers, youth workers, and other professionals who wish to build community and facilitate circles at their school/organization/agency. Participants will learn the underlying assumptions, primary features, and fundamental process of community building circles through direct experience and reflection. The circle-keeper’s role is to initiate a space that is respectful and safe, and to engage participants in sharing responsibility for the space and for their collective work. Participants will have the opportunity to practice designing and keeping circles, receiving feedback on their skills, and receive an informal assessment of their readiness to apply circles to their work. Participants will receive reference materials to guide in implementation. It is anticipated that most participants will be ready to serve as keepers for basic community-building circles as an outcome of the workshop, but not more advanced responsive circles.
