Circles Groups are structured discussions where participants sit in a circle to promote open communication, sharing, and community building.
This format encourages everyone to contribute, listen actively, and respect differing viewpoints.
Key elements of circle talks include:
- Inclusivity: Everyone has a chance to speak, fostering a sense of belonging.
- Respect: Participants are encouraged to listen without interrupting, creating a respectful environment.
- Sharing: Individuals share thoughts, feelings, or experiences related to a specific topic.
- Facilitation: A facilitator may guide the discussion to ensure it stays on track and that everyone participates.
Circle talks are commonly used in schools, community groups, and therapy sessions to enhance communication skills, build trust, and resolve conflicts.
