Registration Form - Nov 24 Witnessing Circle
Queen Victoria Statue Engagement Session 1: Witnessing Circle
Date: November 24, 2022
Location: Kitchener Market (2nd Floor), 300 King St E, Kitchener
Description: The witnessing circle is a community engagement process and ritual, developed by Jay Pitter Placemaking. The intent of the engagement is to create a space for community members to explore complex, oftentimes painful, place-based histories and contemporary occurrences. The Queen Victoria statue witnessing circle will provide community members with an important opportunity to hear perspectives from a small group of individuals from affected groups. After deeply listening and witnessing, everyone will have the opportunity to share their feelings, new lessons and individual perspectives related to the statue. This engagement will establish the foundation for the co-learning, collaboration and compassion required for navigating this complex process.
Time: 5:30pm - 6:00pm (light meal) and 6:00pm - 8:00pm (engagement session)
