How movement groups make decisions has a big impact on our politics, our
effectiveness, and the quality of our activist experience. It can be a
major challenge to find the model that has the right mix of inclusiveness,
accountability, and efficiency for your group.

Consensus decision-making is a group decision making process that seeks the
consent of all participants. Consensus may be defined professionally as an
acceptable resolution, one that can be supported, even if not the
"favourite" of each individual. Consensus describes both the decision and
the process of reaching a decision. Consensus decision-making is thus
concerned with the process of deliberating and finalizing a decision, and
the social and political effects of using this process.

This workshop will explore different approaches to consensus and different
tools to facilitate your way through even the hardest meetings!
