[Anarchafeminists] Reminder : Talking About Collectives event on 6th Feb]

[Mel Vegan]

A Collective for Better Collectives (ACBC) does what it says on the tin
(or wants to). We're interested in peoples' experiences working, living or
being in collectives, and we want to open spaces where groups of us can
share our learning as a kind of mutual aid.

Our events aim to create a forum for listening without judgement to each
other's experiences, to share stories of what has or hasn't worked well in
our collectives and why.

////Talking about Collective event, sunday 6th Feb 12.45pm to 5pm///


INTRODUCTION ABOUT ACBC AND THE AFTERNOON: 1pm


OPEN SPACES DISCUSSIONS: 1.30-2.45pm
Different topics of discussion happening at the same time in different
corners of the same room. Everyone is invited to move freely from one
discussion to the other

- Reading group on conflict resolution (check
http://acbc.noflag.org.uk/?page_id=8 for reading material)
- Experiences of implementation of safer spaces policies
- Participation and inclusiveness
- How and why things go well in collectives?


WORKSHOPS: 3-4.15pm
- Walking discussion: let's try and have a meeting/discussion while having
a walk in the local park :) We will discuss the roles that we usually find
ourselves taking in our collectives, with or without wanting to take them!
- Collective support group: come and share your collective experiences,
what's going well and less well, support and give advice to each other to
try and deal with issues in our collectives.
- Voice Workshop: the effect that voices have on us is something that each
of us experiences everyday but very rarely think about. when we are
working together in collective situations the voice can be imperative to
how we relate to one another, consciously and unconsciously. in this
workshop we will explore some of the effects that voices have on our
capacities and desires to listen and to respond, to become more aware of
the sonic qualities of our speech as much as the content.

And hopefully some breaks, teas, biscuits and nice times!

stairs inside, toilets are in the basement and the place is generally
pretty busy!
