Hello,
The Facilitators Guild will meet on Wednesday, October 26, at 2:30. The location will be either the CCED office (1516 East Michigan Avenue) or Foster Community Center, Room 211. I will send out another notice once I can confirm the location.
The Focus for the next session will be on how power dynamics impact effective facilitation. The trigger will be this excerpt from the text of our core value, "Enfranchisement":
Effective facilitators intentionally subvert “hierarchies of opinion” based on inequitable power or influence. They deliberately seek to enfranchise voices that would otherwise not be heard or valued. Enfranchisement means more than “assuring an equal voice for all.” It acknowledges that structural inequities in society prevent some people from participating equally in public discourse.
Each participant in this meeting is asked to do some thinking in advance on the above excerpt, and this question: "As facilitators, how do we create equitable participation when inequitable power dynamics are present in a group?"
Hope to see you there.
