Salons begin with simple guidelines for discussion. These guidelines foster dynamic, inclusive, and courageous conversations
-
- Share the air
Allow everyone the opportunity to participate. Take part in whatever way fits you best — ask a question, share an experience, listen and reflect, or tweet using #SalonsAtStowe. - Speak your truth
Use “I” statements rather than making generalizations about identities or groups you are not a part of. - Expect and accept discomfort and non-closure
We grow when challenged. We grow when we hear and listen to ideas and experiences that are not our own. Expect and accept that you may feel uncomfortable. Expect and accept that we will not solve every issue facing our world in one conversation. Conversation is one piece of a variety of actions for creating change. - Keep going!
Move the conversation beyond the Stowe Center. Take what you learned, share with others, and act!
