Module 1 – running effective meetings

The international network of local (upcoming) Sociocracy Centers, which we co-founded on Skyros (GR) in October 2023, has now jointly created an English-speaking training program that enables participation on all continents. The network currently includes five, some of them new, training centers, which follow the example of our Sociocracy Center’s training-curricula.

Governance Alive is the host for the current international schedule. The team of trainers can be found on this website, where the first 3 modules can also be booked.
