When co-facilitators have conflicting priorities in reconciliation dialogue work

My co-facilitator and I are leading community dialogues about our city's truth and reconciliation recommendations and they keep centering perpetrator rehabilitation while I focus on victim recognition and we're sending mixed messages to participants. People are starting to notice our different approaches and it's undermining the process.

Facilitators discover their different emphases in guiding collective truth-telling create confusion and undermine their shared authority.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Truth and reconciliation commissions?”
