Description:
Having constructive conversations about racism and bias can be challenging. The goal of this listening circle is to provide a shared emotional connection related to the current dialogue on equity, inclusion, and systemic racism in Canada. The listening circle will provide a space for people to connect, share their experiences, and look to the future. Stories are how we connect and make sense of the world.  We continually re-story as we become greater aware.  Using a traditional narrative inquiry approach helps to unpack hidden biases in a safe, non-judgmental setting, useful in ADR approaches.  Participants will learn a facilitated process using restorative questions to allow for the exploration of issues on a deeper level with people you don’t know who may have different opinions and experiences.  During the circle, participants have the responsibility to listen to others and be listened to.
