Discussion of Circle Process and Use of Talking Piece for Conflict Resolution

community

An article explains the circle process method for conflict resolution, emphasizing the use of a talking piece to promote respectful listening and equality in discussions. The process aims for consensus decisions and improved relationships among participants.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
