This is one of two afternoon session options for the Spring 2025 In-Person Education Event on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The other option in this time slot is Working together to plan for success. The morning workshops are Getting our co-op principles right and Membership committee.

Fee: Registration for the full-day Education Event is $130 per person for the first two participants. Any additional people who register from your co-op will receive a 50% discount.

The fee covers a choice of two workshops (one morning session and one afternoon session), as well as pastries and coffee or tea in the morning, two breaks and a hot lunch.

Summary

Strong opinions are common and healthy in democratic organizations like co-ops. But sometimes these opinions can cross a line and hurt people who think differently. This workshop will show you how to spot when passionate beliefs turn into bullying. You’ll learn how to

  • keep your organization democratic while protecting everyone,
  • recognize different kinds of bullying, and
  • handle situations where someone’s strong views are harming others.
