title: Truth and Reconciliation Circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A structured circle process for communities addressing historical or
|
|
ongoing harm, drawing on the truth commission model and restorative
|
|
circle practice. Participants share experiences of harm, listen to
|
|
each other, and work toward acknowledgement and repair. Used in
|
|
post-conflict settings and in communities addressing systemic injustice.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Establish safety and ground rules
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A facilitator establishes the circle's ground rules: confidentiality,
|
|
respectful listening, no interruption, and the right to pass. The
|
|
space must feel safe enough for honest sharing.
|
|
- headline: Share truths in rounds
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A talking piece is passed. Each person shares their experience of
|
|
harm — what happened, how it affected them, what they witnessed.
|
|
Both those harmed and those complicit may speak.
|
|
- headline: Listen without defending
|
|
description: >-
|
|
When others speak, participants listen without interrupting,
|
|
rebutting, or defending. The circle holds multiple truths at once.
|
|
- headline: Acknowledge what has been heard
|
|
description: >-
|
|
After the rounds, the facilitator summarises what has been shared
|
|
and asks if anything was missed or misunderstood. Speakers confirm
|
|
they have been accurately heard.
|
|
- headline: Explore repair
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The circle explores what repair might look like — not necessarily
|
|
agreement, but acknowledgement of harm and concrete steps toward
|
|
a different future.
|
|
- headline: Close with commitment
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The circle closes with each person naming one step they will take,
|
|
however small, toward repair or changed relationship.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Harm has been named and witnessed, and the community has taken
|
|
concrete steps toward acknowledgement and repair.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Truth-telling without a path to repair can re-traumatise. Do not
|
|
attempt this without trained facilitators and ongoing support. The
|
|
circle is one step in a longer process, not a resolution. |
