LONDON | Seeds in the United Kingdom took part in a two-day dialogue facilitation workshop led by Middle East Program Director Maayan Poleg.
“The workshop gave the participants a foundation in facilitation,” said Seeds of Peace Programs and Events Associate Clarke Reeves. “It included the presentation of facilitation tools, how to set up a facilitated space, and the chance to practice facilitation in the group.”
The April 9-10 program was hosted at the American School of London.
The group chose socio-economic status as the subject of their own dialogue session, delving into an honest and thoughtful discussion of privilege and feelings of obligation associated with it.
At the end of the workshop, the participants were challenged to create their own facilitation projects in their schools and communities.
“Their ideas were thoughtful, varied, and feasible,” said Reeves. “They included open-invite dialogue sessions with pre-chosen or group-chosen topics, dialogue on sexism at all-boys schools, and dialogue within school residences.”
The Seeds attended a reunion dinner to kick off the workshop hosted by Seed Parents Aenne and Claude Chene. At the dinner, Greek Seed Markella spoke about her Seeds experience and how it changed her life and influenced career path in becoming a migrant and minority rights lawyer and anti-human-trafficking specialist.
