Microsolidarity Practice Program

2 weeks program Sept 28th - Oct 8th.

Self-paced video content + 4 group calls.

Microsolidarity is a methodology for community building, where we focus on peer-to-peer support and mutual aid. Join us for this Practice Program if you want...

​

• to cultivate deeper connections and more collaboration within a network

• to initiate more learning, mutual aid, and a sense of belonging within your community

• to develop a work culture where people care about each other's wellbeing and growth

Microsolidarity is a lens for thinking about groups at different scales:

​

1. At the larger scale is the “congregation” — this could be your organisation, network or community.

2. The “crew” is a small group of 3-6 people who support each other in their personal or professional development. 

3. The “dyad” is the smallest scale: the relationship between two people.

This is a 2-week program. We’ll send short videos to explain the core concepts, and we will meet twice a week for a 90-minute group call, to experiment with relational practices.

​

Plus there is a discussion forum to connect with other learners, share resources and ask us questions.
