About
The goal of governance is to improve our connection and our clarity. It helps to know how we make decisions and who decides what. Sociocracy is a set of tools and principles that brings practical guidance on how to go about it. It distributes decision-making to make sure everyone is a decision-maker and offers decision-making by consent, an inclusive and doable decision-making method where each voice matters beginning to end!
This workshop has two parts. In the first part, we will give an overview of the tools needed in governance
- how to decentralize and distribute power
- how to facilitate inclusive decision-making and meetings
- how to get the conversation started
In the second part, we will practice decision-making, in particular, what to do if someone doesn't agree.
Join this participatory workshop and get inspired by how collaboration in your group could be improved!
