Modern workplaces are seeking new and innovative ways to engage diverse voices into strategic conversations, meetings, and change management initiatives. Restorative practices serve as handy tools for everything from team brainstorming sessions to review of new processes and to constructive and robust performance feedback systems. The power behind these processes are the blend of equitable engagement, curiosity, and focused listening.
During this highly interactive training, participants will understand both the theory and skills involved in facilitating “Circle Conversations” and create an action-plan for implementing them in workplaces, schools, or communities. Participants successfully complete progressive modules constituting the training: the first portion covers the “theory and principles”, the second portion highlights the Circle Practice itself, and the third portion focuses on practical application. Workshop modules include:
- Relationships and Trust-building
- Community Circles & Restorative Conversations
- Stages of Successful Implementation
Through active engagement and collaborative learning, participants become familiar with Circle practices and develop a plan for applying them in their desired situation.
