Connection Instructions
We spend a lot of time in online meetings and trainings these days and we are learning how that impacts our ability to organize, make decisions, and learn together. We are also learning how to address oppressive dynamics in our group spaces online as facilitators.
If you are someone who facilitates online whether it's a business meeting, an affinity group check-in, or a project planning session, come learn how to create structures and practices that build alignment in your group.
NOTE: This is a grant funded workshop and is for people who live or/and work in Portland.
In this 2 hour workshop we will:
• Understand how oppression manifests in online group spaces;
• Share skills for intervening in difficult group dynamics & learn equitable facilitation structures;
• Develop skills for facilitating and leading groups that move our work for justice and liberation forward.
