Community Agreements: Fostering Collaborative Accountability

Description:

This webinar equips participants with actionable skills to develop dynamic community agreements. Top-down approaches, like ground rules, often lead to disengagement and hinder innovation by overlooking valuable group insights. Through collectively establishing norms and values, community agreements promote equity, address power dynamics, foster inclusivity, and harness collective wisdom. This webinar provides tools and insights for meaningful dialogue and collective decision-making.

Objectives:

1. Identify the purpose of community agreements, especially in moments of conflict or discomfort.
2. Discover the difference between static rules and evolving, relational agreements
3. Practice actionable skills for co-creating and revisiting community agreements that support accountability, repair, and belonging.
