D&D Circle: Fostering deep mutual learning within a small group

November 17, 2022 0 comments Video resource, video dorian

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)

I try to bring good people and exciting projects together within the Deep Adaptation Forum, where I am currently part of the core team. I am also studying social learning and radical collective change as part of my PhD at IFLAS, University of Cumbria.
