Excerpt from a workshop activity exploring educational goals.
"Empowering us to see ourselves as being worthy answers to the questions we posed, being the person to give us the torch to illuminate the darkness, being the person to give us that reassurance that we can indeed be the people we hope to become. I cannot thank you enough."
"Sensitive material was handled really well. No dogmatic assertions but good process to generate debate and discussion."
"The active listening and non-violent exercises were useful in addressing and tackling microaggressions in the classroom and teaching context."
"I was struck by the way Véro was able to listen to the team, reflect back and articulate our voices and vision in such a powerful way."
"This was so great! Loved the facilitation of it and just enjoyed myself a lot too."
"I'm glad I went through [the mediation process]. I learnt a lot about myself and felt heard. Thank you so much."
