Date Range
Add to Calendar 2021-03-12 09:00:00 2021-03-12 11:00:00 Be The Street Workshop: Facilitating Inclusive Meetings Based in our conversations with many community leaders last fall, the Be the Street OSU Global Arts & Humanities Discovery Theme project has crafted four unique session offerings in March and April. The sessions include Creative Connecting Over Zoom, Facilitating Inclusive Meetings, Creative Self Care for Community Leaders, and a Teach & Learn Skill Swap.  These workshop sessions are for anyone in Ohio who leads meetings or holds groups of any kind. Please pass this information along to those in your networks or organizations who you think might be interested in this opportunity.  We encourage folks who work with communities of all abilities, ages, backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and identities to join us. Each session is scheduled for two hours over zoom and are completely covered by an OSU Global Arts & Humanities Discovery Theme grant with no cost you! The sessions can stand alone, or you can attend several and build upon your skills. Facilitating Inclusive Meetings Register Here! Friday, March 12 9-11 AM EST or Thursday, March 18 4-6 PM EST  Have you worked on starting dialogues with groups where the same two or three voices stage the same battles, while everyone else sits in silence? How do we hear from everyone in the room in ways that encourage people to build on each other's contributions? This scenario may be familiar to folks who want to engage groups in dialogue or facilitate collaborative action. How can we set up space for more voices to be heard and for nuanced conversations that complicate issues?  In this free, two-hour workshop, we will share communication tactics and conflict resolution strategies which invite folks to listen and share across difference, creating brave spaces for open communication. We will practice activities of varying risk levels—from silent writing as dialogue to sharing points of view by placing one’s self on a continuum. If you attend and find it beneficial, we can discuss bringing the workshop to your organization or team. Please note: This is not a course in conflict mediation. Our focus is on laying the groundwork for getting everyone in a group to speak, be heard, listen to and build on others’ contributions.  After participating, you will be eligible for participating in our small grants program to support and sustain your own creative leadership. If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Moriah Flagler at flagler.4@osu.edu. Requests made two weeks before the event will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
