How can we create community spaces that are more inclusive and allow for challenging conversations?

One key ingredient is establishing a "brave space agreement". Brave space is a concept that emerged from lessons shared by social justice educators in "The Art of Effective Facilitation" (https://styluspub.presswarehouse.com/browse/book/9781579229740/The-Art-of-Effective-Facilitation) as a "new way to frame dialogue around diversity and social justice" that de-centered systems of oppression, such as white supremacy and patriarchy. Brave Space agreements can be used for meetings, workshops, and restorative conversations.

Led by actor-vist, social and emotional consultant, educator, and warrior for justice and radical self-love Jenna Anast, (www.journeyswithjenna.com) this week’s workshop centered around the importance of creating a brave space where colleagues, co-workers, and friends etc. can feel brave while sharing their truth. Anast also serves as the Head of Community and Exhibition for OTV - Open Television.
