A day built around listening.
STEP Programme alumni planned and coordinated Meeting of the Minds. On the day, they'll facilitate the day.
Welcome
Arrive, meet your circle, and settle into shared agreements for care and curiosity.
Storytelling
Move in a small group to a storyteller station. Listen to a lived experience, in the storyteller’s own words.
Q&A
Ask with respect. Each circle makes space for questions and conversation before rotating.
Reflection
Pause together. What shifted? What will you carry into your own life and community?
Closing
Come back together to thank the storytellers and one another.
Lunch
After the closing, join us for lunch and carry the conversation to the table.
The tidal wave of change is made up of a million ripples.
