If you decide to initiate a local Conversation Circle, I invite you to send me a brief email describing the nature of your local Circle, including the following information:
- Your affiliation and contact information
- The topic/theme to be addressed by your Conversation Circle
- The persons or group who will comprise your Conversation Circle
- The location, format, and duration for your conversation
- The projected date(s) for your conversation
Providing me with the above information is optional. Such information will be helpful to me as I assess the effectiveness, or not, of the Respectful Conversation Project. None of the information you provide will be disseminated to anyone else without your permission.
If you decide to exercise this option of submitting information on your local Conversation Circle, I will, at a later date, also give you the option of reporting on the results of your conversation, with emphasis on what worked well and what didn’t work as well, so we can all learn from your experience. After that, I may report on your Conversation Circle in one of my blog musings, assuming you give me permission to do so, or I may ask if you are willing write an entry for posting on my blog.
