Phase I: Build community/Presence/Being

The goal of Phase I is to introduce students to the terms and content that will be explored throughout the four-phase curriculum. This includes concepts that relate to reconciliation such as cross-cultural engagement, community building, and restorative justice.

Phase II: Co-create/Discovery/Becoming

The goal of Phase II is to give students an opportunity to engage in the practices of co-creation and begin the process of creating their own terminology as it relates to reconciliation. Students will begin to build upon action research that relates to community building and restorative justice practices within their context.

Phase III: Code/Transformation/Knowing

The goal of Phase III is to help students uncover hidden values within their local context. Students will learn to actively listen without passing judgment and gain a working understanding of truth and reconciliation commissions. Students will continue working on creating working terms and engaging in practices learned in earlier phases within their own contexts.

Phase IV: Mastery/Do

The goal of Phase IV is to have each student begin to work toward mastery. Students should have an array of terms, tools, and practices that relate to reconciliation. Students should have contacts within their community so they can start the process of reconciliation and continue to grow within the field of racial reconciliation.
