CCEJ: Creating Cultures of Accountability 3- Part Training Series!

I wanted to personally share an opportunity for yourself, colleagues, or members of your community to attend our Open Creating Cultures of Accountability 3- Part Training Series! Also, please feel free to share this information with others!

Led by the California Conference for Equality and Justice adult education team, this 3 session training will take place in-person at our office in Long Beach on Tuesdays September 10, 17, and 24. This 3-session training series will support participants in creating a productive, trust-building culture of conflict and accountability. By exploring individual and organizational patterns around communication, conflict norms, and how harm is handled, participants will create an essential foundation to support deeper future engagement with each other.

Session 1: Understanding Communication (3 hours)

In this session, participants will identify how they communicate with one another on a daily basis, and how that may change or stay the same when they are experiencing powerful emotions. Participants will practice communicating about how they experience and show emotions at work in an honest way that also uplifts boundaries and consent. Participants will also reflect on the ways that their identities impact how they express their emotions and understand the emotions of others.

Session 2: Leaning into Conflict (3 hours)

In this session, participants will explore a needs-based framework of conflict and use it to understand what drives conflict at work. Participants will also reflect on the barriers to engaging directly and honestly in conflict with each other, such as organizational policies or unofficial norms, challenging power dynamics and different relationships to privilege and systemic oppression. Lastly, participants will explore a range of tools to use to use conflict to build trust and strengthen relationships.

Session 3: Calling in Harm (3 hours)

In this third session, participants will engage in building a culture of accountability when identity-based conflict & harm occurs. Participants will reflect on articulating their values, feelings, & needs to better map out options for responding in real time when harm happens in community. Through common scenarios, participants will practice naming & responding in ways that promote accountability, relational equity, & inclusion for all.
