Stewardship Circles: Leaders & Policy Makers
This course is for leaders and policy makers who ask the question “What is the community alternative to my service and how can I resource it?” They want to precipitate action that is led BY communities. They work in community, health, education, housing and policing.
Stewardship Circle members are invited to commit to meeting six times over a year to take part in facilitated discussions.
Each of these gatherings is themed around a particular topic, so members are invited to read key articles, watch relevant videos or listen to podcasts in advance of the session so that they can shape the discussion on the day. Whilst these topics offer a structure to the conversations, the sessions are flexible, enabling members to take responsibly for sharing the issues that are important to them. The group will create a space to explore stewardship behaviours and practice, and consider what rituals and routines it wants to develop in order to model how a strengths based culture can evolve.
