U-M's Sexual Assault Prevention & Awareness Center (SAPAC) is offering a facilitated conversation utilizing the restorative practice of circles to interested undergraduate and graduate students within the program. The facilitators will utilize circles as a tool to engage participants in discussion, and address individual and collective harm that has been caused within your community, as well as to collaborate on ideas for community needs moving forward.
These restorative circles allow for focus on “5 C’s”:
1) Convene- come together in a small and confidential virtual space, facilitated by SAPAC confidential staff
2) Connect- connect with peers-only within your community
3) Concern- talk about and process the harm and impact within the community4) Collaborate- share common areas of concerns to be addressed and strategize possible solutions
5) Closing- review themes, recommendations, and resources available for support. Facilitators will share the agreed upon anonymous themes and recommendations with department administrators
If you are interested in attending this circle, please RSVP by the registration deadline. The circle process supports 15 students (the capacity of the circle).
