About this class
Are you part of a group that is still small or young and wants to get off the ground? Maybe you’re organizing mutual aid, a young nonprofit or activist project. Or maybe you have an old project that has been limping along and is ready to be picked up with more clarity, hope, and action?
In this 90min webinar, we will give you an overview of what it takes for you to start or re-vive a group in a way that supports action, clarity, while building on collective wisdom and participation from the first moment.
The event provides an overview of the step-by-step process described in the book “Who Decides Who Decides. How to start a new group so everyone has a voice.”
- How to invite people into a new group and hold a first meeting
- How to distribute responsibility and get a lot of things done. Many hands make work light!
- How to have meetings that hold a safe container, promote listening, consideration and build a future that works for all.
