This workshop introduces the practical governance method developed as part of local efforts to build equitable housing governance in Victoria, BC, Canada. The three-part method was used to build shared purpose among the group, to facilitate discussions that draw meaning from lived experience, and to practice making decisions together. Practical, political, and epistemic challenges underscore the contribution of the method as a participatory planning and governance strategy. Detailed information and materials will be sent a day before the event.
