Compass & Agreements

Below is the courageous conversations about Race protocol. It was originally developed Singleton (M.Ed., Stanford) to support people in having the conversations necessary to make progress on difficult subjects such as race, racism, ethnicity, and privilege. The main components include: Four agreements; Six Conditions; the mindset compass; and the operational definitions. By using these components, the facilitator supports participants in pushing to sustain difficult dialogue while upholding the agreements; leveraging the compass for check­ins; and adhering to the six conditions. The end result is conscious dialogue that deepens the group’s collective understanding while broadening each individual’s perspective.
