Guiding Principles
1/ Listening to and prioritizing “first voice”- for example, those who have played and didn’t have a positive experience, those who have been underserved, and those with lived experience who chose not to play in the first place
2/ Trust 3/ No single person or group has more value than another 4/ A willingness to “see” systems of oppression and/or exclusion and a desire to break them down 5/ Positivity. No shade or blame |
6/ Collaboration. This cannot be done alone
7/ Openness to change and personal growth 8/ Strength in diversity – diversity of thought, geography, background, experience, ethnicity, ability, gender, orientation, etc. 9/ From failure comes learning 10/ The work is currently provincial in scope with aspirations for proven methods to scale for broader/national impact. |
