The Deets:
Friday January 6 – Sunday January 8, 2011
Steelworker’s Hall
25 Cecil Street
Toronto, ON
The Call Out and Schedule:
Retreat, Regroup, Reoccupy!
A weekend of reflection, co-ordination, structuring and regrouping for activists involved in Occupy Toronto committees.
This weekend’s conference will give the committees a chance to communicate and co-ordinate with each other, and restructure if necessary. It is primarily intended for the members of the Occupy Toronto Committees but totally open to the public and all are welcome.
Members of the 99 per cent who feel like they are more on the periphery, who would like to learn more about the Occupy movement and who want to get more involved than they have been so far should consider coming to the Activist Assembly two weeks later.
Schedule:
Friday January 6, 2011:
7:00-10:00 – Facilitated Debriefing Session. A facilitated group activity session that will encourage individuals to identify group strengths and weaknesses, and develop interpersonal relationships.
Saturday January 7, 2011:
12:00-4:00 Committees each take a turn debriefing. Every committee interested in participating must come up with a short (10-15 minute) presentation, and a 15-minute open discussion will follow each committee’s debrief
Sunday January 8, 2011:
12:00 – 2:45 Open, facilitated discussion on our decision-making process. Various decision-making alternatives will be presented followed by a group discussion.
3:00 – 6:00 Visioning Session using the Open Space method of facilitation.
“Open Space Technology is a workshop design tool to use when situations include a diverse group of people who must deal with complex, and potentially conflicting material in innovative and productive ways. It is a facilitation method in which people can identify specific issues on a given topic, self-select into discussion groups, and work with the issue with people also concerned with that issue.”
