Community of Practice

We hosted TRU’s first Appreciative Inquiry/Appreciative Resilience Community of Practice on Friday, April 14. Five of us gathered to talk about our goals for such as community, as well as logistics, ideas for topics of future gatherings, and possible synergies with other campus initiatives, such as Indigenization and decolonization. Our agenda for the gathering appears in the slides below. 

Several others who were interested could not attend the gathering, so the group decided to host our second meeting of our community of practice on May 10. So far, seven of us have agreed to meet, and others have expressed interest. For this meeting, we have agreed to share our strategies for implementing principles of Appreciative Inquiry and Appreciative Resilience into our own contexts.

After this meeting, we will break for the summer, but we have committed to monthly gatherings throughout the academic year, beginning in August or September.
