D&D Circle: Fostering deep mutual learning within a small group
In this call, members of the DAF Diversity and Decolonising Circle shared some insights from the past year of their life as a group. In particular, they explored topics such as:
- How the group has been a “nursery bed” for social change initiatives taking place elsewhere, and how these initiatives have been a source of ongoing learning and change within the group itself;
- How conflict transformation and a focus on fostering deep relationships have been keys to the group’s evolution, and how these processes may be relevant to collective and political transformation (see this video on conflict created by the group for a taster)
Part of the Conscious Learning Festival 2022
