Last December there was consent to bring in more sociocracy training (internal link | publicly accessible link). The full list of training courses that everybody is expected to follow can be found in Section 8.2.2 of the Onboarding Manual.
Here’s a proposed schedule for the first cycle of basic sociocracy and facilitation trainings. It would consist of three sessions:
S 1.1: governance in The Reef (45 min) + facilitation session 1 “how to integrate an objection”
S 1.2: facilitation session 2 “reacting in the moment”
S 1.3: facilitation session 3 “proposal shaping, role description & selection process”
The proposal’s gist is that everybody would follow these trainings. In practice I guess we won’t be forcing anybody, but if you joined The Reef in 2023 or later, or if you take part in a lot of meetings I think it would be a win for everybody if you could attend at least the first two sessions.
The dates were set as follows:
I went through The Reef’s calendar and identified all time slots on week days in weeks were there weren’t already two Reef meetings
I cross checked these with my calendar and Chris’s
That leaves a very limited list of dates, so the idea is this: we schedule the meetings, see who can attend, and if not enough people can make it for a proposed date, then we shift the entire schedule forward. After that, we’ll just launch another cycle, for newlings and for those who missed out a session and who would like to catch up.
@reeflings, can you please indicate whether you will be attending the following sessions?
Note: sessions are online from 7 to 9 pm, except session 2 which is in person
Updating the post and inserting new polls to correct for the typos
Just to clarify, is Session 1 being held twice so that the maximum number of people can do it before moving on to Session 2?
I’ve put myself down for both Session 1s, because if I’ve understood correctly, I’ll be a participant for the first one and leading the second one on the 25th…
Would you possibly have space to organise a crash course / catch up session for those who missed considerable parts of the basic training, but who would nevertheless like to sign up for the advanced one, starting on 21/05? I am working on a Powerpoint with all basic notions and exercises that could be used to tailor-tweak to what is needed / missing.
This Thursday is the repeat training of Session 1 (S 1.1: governance in The Reef (45 min) + facilitation session 1 “how to integrate an objection”) for those who are interested and couldn’t make the previous one.
Confirmed participants are : @mieke, @Caro and @Sophie_B
If you would like to be a late addition to the party, let me know below…
You registered for the third session next Monday, but unfortunately I won’t find the time to finish my slide deck. I also just need a break or else focus on other prioritise.
Would you prefer to meet and just do the session with the videos, or would you prefer to postpone the sesssion?
@Lee - if session 3 is postponed, then I guess the session1-3 catch up is as well. We also now have a presentation booked for one of the evenings planned for the second series of training. Not necessarily an issue… we can extend the order you’ve put together into the dates we’ve scheduled, and add a few more at the end to continue the process…
Let’s wait until we have our R&O meeting on the 19th, and then see how we can put together a schedule that includes facilitation, NVC, governance, working methods etc?
If you’ve been following this thread, then you know that there is a 3-session training course for everyone to become more familiar with our governance and facilitation in the context of sociocracy:
Because of everything going on recently, we haven’t advanced as far as we thought we would have by now, which is understandable. A few people have participated in sessions 1 and 2, with session 3 to be rescheduled in the near future.
On Tuesday evening (the 21st) I will be giving a review of sessions 1 and 2. This would be particularly relevant for @reef-exploring members, as there will be plenty of space to ask questions about sociocracy, Reef governance, facilitation, plenary meetings, proposals, etc.
The link to the meeting is on the Nextcloud calendar. If you are interested in participating, please let me know in this thread below…
