Learning Community Agreements
These are Pillar's Learning Community Agreements that we have created for all of our events. Please take a few minutes to read them and reflect on them ahead of time. We will also take the opportunity to share them with you during our events.
- Address the issue not the person
- Lean into discomfort
- Be respectful of others - on their terms
- Expect and accept non-closure
- Acknowledge we are all on a journey and part of the journey is growth
- Show up with humility and empathy even if opinions differ
- Be patient and accountable to one another to ultimately build trust with one another
- Confidentiality: What’s said here stays here, what’s learned here leaves here
Please note that if we feel that questions or comments are disruptive in any way we may move the individual into a room with one of my pillar colleagues to continue the conversation there. A determination would then be made about a return to the workshop.
We would like to encourage you to take this opportunity to think more deeply about Ethical and Safe Spaces at your organization or community.
- Why do we need to create these statements and resources?
- Think about who is safe and not safe?
- Is your space/organization safe and ethical?
- How can you center this work in every meeting, every event?
We would like to share the work that Carolinian Canada is doing - Carolinian Canada’s Commitment to Creating Ethical and Safe Spaces
