The intention behind Sharing Practice sessions is to create spaces to share our practice in dialogues within community that holds a collective ethic of justice-doing in community work, counselling and therapy. Each session focuses on specific practice explored in an article, and will have provocations to foster emergent, meaningful dialogues and assist us to explore our practices and witness others in connected struggles.
A Justice-doing approach situates supervision as community organizing. “Supervision of Solidarity practices: Solidarity teams and people-ing-the-room”, explores practices that move the ethics of solidarity into action. The article includes an expansive set of questions framing the practice.
People-ing-the-room is a strategy co-created alongside refugees and asylum seekers who had no one from their community and former life available to them in person to bear witness to the meaning of their acts of resistance.
These practices are useful to resist isolation of all people who are targeted and oppressed.
