Roundtable Intentions

This roundtable is designed to be more than just a panel — it’s a space for reflection, learning, and honest conversation. Our goals are:

1. Mutual Learning:
   We hope both panelists and audience members walk away having learned something new and meaningful — whether from each other’s work, challenges, or ideas.
   
   

2. Creating a Safe and Brave Space:
   We aim to foster a space that feels safe and brave — where people feel comfortable being honest, even about difficult or imperfect experiences. Vulnerability and critical reflection are welcome here.
   
   

3. Dialogue over Performance:
   This isn’t about polished soundbites. We encourage panelists to speak from experience, to ask questions back, and to build on each other’s responses. Audience questions are welcomed as a vital part of this discussion.
   
   

4. Raising Tough Questions:
   The topics we discuss in these roundtables are full of tensions — around power, trust, equity, and implementation. We invite participants to raise hard questions, challenge assumptions, and reflect openly. This is how we grow.
   
   

How We’ll Engage

• Everyone on the panel will answer the first question as a grounding introduction.
  
  

• Panelists are free to choose which other questions they respond to — based on what feels most relevant or meaningful to their work.
  
  

• Audience participation is encouraged throughout — via chat, Q&A, or follow-up dialogue depending on the format.
