As a group, discuss your individual impressions of the “whys” presented in the video. If you are working to formally create a narrative of your organization’s “whys,” be clear on how the decision will be made.
Discussion questions:
- Do any of the “whys” presented in the Avarna video resonate?
- Which “whys” rise to the top for your organization?
- Are there “whys” that were not mentioned in the video that are important to your organization? Are there other ways you would connect social, environmental, climate, food, health, land and other injustices to your mission?
- Are there any “whys” that do not resonate?
- Are the “whys” that rise to the top values driven (e.g., addressing historic injustices, ensuring everyone has equitable access), or reactionary (e.g., relevance, liability, and avoiding a public call-out)?
