Unlearning hierarchy in our learning-teaching spaces
Creating Non-Hierarchical Learning Structures for individuals and groups
In this workshop, we offer to circle together and sense as a team of learners how we can allow our knowledge and experiences to be in the center of the space, where it is available equitably to all who are present. The experiences and knowledge that emerge belong to everyone. How can we embody this teaching paradigm where the student doesn’t need to go through the teacher to reach the knowledge or understanding? How can we all be learners in this process?
Our intention and responsibility as facilitators is to create and hold a safe space together as a circle. This is essential for the process of exploring ways in which we might let go of our familiarity with hierarchical ways of teaching our work. Might letting go of this paradigm lead us to a more nurturing relationship with our work and each other?
We wish to use the principles of the Alexander Technique to explore in depth the ways hierarchy resides in our (AT) teaching spaces and allow new ideas to emerge. Breathing, movement, and small group activities, will be used as a means-whereby to embody Alexander technique principles in our relationships with a learner or a group of learners. Through these activities, the group might choose several principles which we will then put into play together during this co-created workshop.
I whish to present this workshop with Corinne Cassini who will register soon
