Racial Justice CoP: Racial Justice Community of Practice: Power Dynamics (Members Only)

As facilitators, what can we do when we lose power in a group due to one or more of our identities? What happens when power struggles are part of the client's culture? What about when people in our client groups lose power in a meeting due to one or more of their identities? How do we recover and regain power? How do we support others?

This workshop is an exploration of how to maintain composure and re-assert power when encountering issues of power and privilege. This is a conversation with colleagues, therefore please bring your challenges, quandaries, and ideas to this discussion. Once you’ve registered, you’ll be invited to share examples of losing power to use during this session.

Please note that this is for MAFN members only and there is limited space, so please register early.

Our guiding principles are:

• Come open to learning (growth mindset)
  Not expert led- hosted by peers with space to learn from all
  Bring your questions, share your expertise

• If you register and cannot attend, please cancel to allow someone else to come. 

• Registration closes at midnight the day before the discussion group.

• Registered participants will receive instructions for joining the live session and any additional details 1 day in advance and the morning of the event. Please be sure to look for the link in your email.

• MAFN CoP discussions will not be recorded in order to support a safe space for learning.
