The People and Structure

Our organically evolving network is made up of hundreds of talented and committed people from diverse backgrounds. A few are featured in these pages. In Haiti, Circles of Change program is called Eksperyans la nan yon lòt kalite lidèchip or simply Eksperyans la.

Open Space and Reflection Circles are methods, not organizations. Circles of Change has no employees, with the exception of the two co-coordinators. This means people learn these methods because they think they are valuable, not as a means to gain employment. In the eight years since the Reflection Circle Project was launched, these two methods have spread significantly—due in large part to the strong commitment of local practitioners.

Several thousand students and adults are participating in regular Circles of Change meetings. While it's admirable that people are motivated to gain skills that enable them to find jobs, our shared goals are doomed if the spread of ideas and practices so essential for social change depend on providing employment for all those involved.
