Carline and I met to discuss this! We decided to do a learning workshop as part of the leadership development circle!
LEARNING
“Learning” workshops are sessions designed to share a particular skill or support participants in deepening their understanding around a particular subject or concept. Examples include - “Introduction to _____”, “How to facilitate Circles for difficult topics”, “Examining the role of power & privilege in…”, etc.
We decided that we could do something about facilitation! See our 2022 Youth Summit NYC Application for our current ideas and our answer to the application questions.
