      What language do we use to describe the person or persons who drive the contemplative initiative in our community? Leader? Facilitator? Contemplative wisdom carrier? Other? What impact does that language have on the whole group? How might people feel included or excluded based on this language?

      Reminds me of NCS again as the title of the role changes from year to year it used to be 'team leader' but when i last ran a programme it was 'mentor' - which was a bit nicer as we had senior mentors and mentors.

      What are possible obstacles for those you may want to invite? Often there are structural barriers that organizers fail to take into account, such as no interpretation of language (including sign language), no gender-neutral washrooms, no childcare, not accessible to wheelchairs/scooters, no access to the meeting or event location by public transportation

      See this a lot with Public Engagement events held on campus not being accesable booking awkward rooms and/or not thinking about people having to pay for transport, etc.

      Bruce Tuckman’s stages of group development--Form-ing, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourn-ing--can be a helpful framework for understanding group dynamics (see “Developmental sequence in small groups,” Psychological Bulletin, 63(6), 384-399.http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/h0022100).

      We use Tuckman's model in NCS training! It's really useful as a 'leader' when a group of young people have to come together, be close to eachother for 2 weeks but may be introduced to people who are different to them, who have had different experiences that sometimes causes tension and conflict!

      We invited participants from a range of institutions, regions, academic disciplines, and professional positions, while also paying attention to racial, national, and gender identity and representation.

      Range of people = will have different experiences and have a richer community to learn from :)
