Community of Practice

Join a supportive community of DpC practitioners to share experiences, forge connections, and enhance your confidence and skills in applying the DpC Methodology.

Why?

To support individuals’ capacity to more effectively facilitate dialogue and restore relationships . The skills at the core of the DpC method are perishable. If we don't use them, we lose them. We need others to exchange with, and there's great value in being around practitioners who, as DpC Facilitators, already share a common language and mental models.

What is the DPC Community of Practice (CoP)?

A question at the heart of DpC Global’s approach in this Community of Practice offering is: "How can we support facilitators in enhancing their practice, maintaining momentum and exchanging inspiration over time?” The Community of Practice was created out of the need for continuous engagement. It is a place where practitioners can deepen the application and study of the skills and ideas of the DpC methodology.

    How is it going?

    What is working/challenging?

  • Seminar

    a 45-minute lecture on a particular subject relevant to the DpC methodology and alive in practice.
    The guest lecture will be by a member of the DpC community, followed by Q+A and discussion in small groups.
    Samples lined up for this year: Trauma x Resiliency and Climate x Conflict.

  • Storytelling - Case Study

    Learn from a featured case study of DpC in action. We will explore the application of DpC in specific contexts learning from those who have lead the development of transforming conflict in their communities.

Who is this for?

Anyone who has completed the DpC Trainer of Facilitators programme (4 or 5 day Module 1 and Module 2 training). Whether your training was 20 years ago or last week.

What is it not?

This community is not meant to be:

  • A pipeline for jobs: We want to offer a non-transactional space, where people can relax and engage meaningfully.

  • Not a 'course': This is not a content-heavy experience. While one component of the year's offering has a seminar flavour, the overall Community of Practice engagement is interactive and draws on the expertise within the group.

  • Not therapy, supervision, or coaching: Each of these important practices requires dedicated time and space. This is not the setting for in-depth one-on-one work. Instead, the focus of the DPC Community of Practice is on peer-to-peer exchange within the DPC network.

Benefits:

  • Sharpen your capacity to facilitate dialogue

  • Find inspiration

  • Connect to others using the same tools in different contexts

  • Understand your role in a larger context

  • Exchange experiences of applying and adapting the method

  • Commit to ongoing professional development
