Join Spring Up’s Leander and Stas Phoenix for an interactive workshop on how you can design equitable and accountable community.
About the event
Community accountability is about translating values into practice, practicing generative conflict, preventing and responding to harm without centering liability or the state, and responding to patterns of harm and conflict through emergent and adaptive organizational strategy. Spring Up’s frameworks of accountability and the Organizational Accountability Wheel are informed by grassroots transformative justice and community accountability practice, and draw on the wisdom of the Indigenous Medicine Wheel, as expressed by the People of Standing Rock / Lakota and Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory.
The Designing Equitable and Accountable Communities workshop revolves around the central question, “What does it mean to practice equity and accountability as an individual, a leader, and–especially–within community?” This workshop reframes traditional diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) frameworks and practices, standard professional best practices, and accountability in an institutional setting to create a shared understanding of Community Accountability.
This workshop is designed for leaders who want to interrogate their community’s accountability practices and identify how they can increase equity, and to be an easily digestible introduction to some of these ideas, with the ability to be adapted to fit your own organizations and communities.
During this workshop, you’ll learn:
- a holistic way to think of your strengths and growth areas as a community
- a self-auditing tool to hold conversations with your community about trust and accountability
- how to grow through equity, accountability, and conflict patterns you have struggled with
- how to discern between personal, community, and organizational accountability
