Facilitate for Freedom: A Facilitation Skills Workshop Hosted by AORTA
Description: Facilitating groups towards full member participation and democratic process can be challenging, especially when dealing with dynamics of power and oppression that often marginalize women, people of color, queer, trans, and gender non-conforming folks, people with disabilities, and those with limited access to the cultural cues that come with class privilege. Some simple tools can drastically shift the energy of a meeting, might help you hear new voices, and invite the perspectives of all participants. Join AORTA (Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance) for a half day workshop to practice and build confidence to disrupt harmful dynamics and move towards facilitating for justice.
