Intro
Remember how we touched on some event ‘must-haves’ for planning an agenda in the previous chapter? These features form part of a framework for holding a feminist conversation space! When we start to integrate an awareness of power, practices of care and an attention to safety into our agenda, we set the scene for a conversation space that is fun, in-depth, creative and engaging for all folks participating!
This chapter is for you if:
-
There are sensitive topics you would like to discuss, but are unsure of how to do so safely
-
You are worried conversations will lack depth, because participants might feel uncomfortable sharing with other participants they do not know
-
You want to learn more about navigating power and privilege in conversations
-
You are interested in process, and want examples of different conversation methods
-
You’re looking for practical activities for practising collective care during your event
