Genesee Street Syracuse, New York
Coffee, Tea, snacks and (vegan)
lunch provided! Sliding Scale $15-50
DETAILS: In our groups and our movements we make decisions all the time.
It¹s not the most exciting work we do, but how we make those decisions -
whose voices are heard, how we address concerns, keeping the process
open to all is all part of the struggle to be democratic and
empowering. Whether you¹ve worked with groups that replicate
conventional power dynamics or groups that had no structure at allŠwe¹ve
all been frustrated and challenged at some point trying to make and
implement decisions in a way that¹s cooperative, nonhierarchical and
effective.
The Bread and Roses Collective is bringing C.T. Butler (one of the Food
Not Bombs founders and co-author of "On Conflict and Consensus²) to
Syracuse to facilitate a ³consensus 101² training. The format will be
very interactive - lots of time for questions, practice and skill
building. You can check out the full text of "On Conflict and Consensus"
online: www.consensus.net for an intro. Some of the areas to be covered
include:
Agendas and planning meetings, Facilitation & other roles, Principles of
consensus, Group discussion techniques, Blocks and stand asides and Group
dynamics
We have room for 20-25 participants total and have 11 already signed up!
The remaining spots will be filled as people sign upŠso get your name on
the list ASAP before we¹re full :-)
We ask for a $15-50 donation to help cover food, space and materials,
and to reimburse C.T. for his time and travel. We've also received
generous donations from Student Environmental Action Coalition and
Caribbean Latin America Coalition, so we'll try to accomodate everyone's
needs. The main space we have reserved is upstairs; please let us know
if that is a challenge, as we also have a smaller conference room on the
first floor reserved if necessary.
