>> Hello Collective Power Contributors,

>> As a contributor to the playbook, I am extending an invitation to participate in the next round of The Session Design Lab, which is happening in February.  The content of the lab very much lays down a foundation for understanding how to break down knowledge hierarchies and build solidarity among your participants.  If you are interested in attending, I’d happily provide you with a guest registration - just let me know

>> If you know others who may benefit from attending, here’s a blurb you can share with them.
>> 
>> Enhance your facilitation and training skills and harness collective power at The Session Design Lab. During this two-day online workshop, which lasts three hours each day, you will build a solid foundation in designing participatory and interactive sessions for both online and in-person formats. This will enable you to facilitate sessions that promote learning, knowledge sharing, and empowerment, thereby advancing your work and that of your participants.
