Agreements for Being in CommunityRESPECT I agree to respect myself, the trainers, and my companion participants. In regard to the trainers, this means I acknowledge they are here to present "their" experiences, perspectives and understandings of this culture as these pertain to whiteness and racism in the United States. RESPONSIBILITY I agree to take responsibility for myself, my words and my actions during this workshop. I do not generalize, using words such as "everybody," "all people." I do talk about "I feel," "I think," "my experience is..." REMAIN I agree to remain in the room, physically, psychologically and emotionally. This means I stay present even when I am not comfortable. I understand this is hard work and I am committed to doing it for the duration of this workshop. OPENNESS I agree to remain open to what is being discussed, to what is happening and to new information. PARTICIPATION I agree to participate in exercises and to complete the assignments given, including homework to be completed overnight. LISTENING I agree to listen to others with all the gifts I contain within me, neither debating, interrupting, fixing, negating nor telling them "my" story. SAFETY I decide to be safe, knowing no one can guarantee another's safety and I agree to make it safe for others by maintaining confidentiality. ____________________________________ ________________________ More resources for setting groundrules to promote and lead effective dialogue. |
