RnDAO Talks Ep 18 | Lana Jelenjev: Rethinking Engagement As A Slider
Lana is a Filipina, now based in the Netherlands, who designs spaces for “KAPWA” (shared inner selves) to flourish. She guides founders, community leaders and changemakers in re-imagining, designing and facilitating spaces for belonging, liberation and healing.
Lana is the author of the book: Community Builder Designing Communities for Change and she is also the chairperson of the Neurodiversity Foundation, and co-founders of Community Rituals and Neurodiversity Education Academy.
Engagement is a big buzzword, and it's one of the main metrics that we, as community builders, weavers, founders, measure our communities. Asking our members to be highly engaged has a pitfall - It carries with it an expectation that there is one right way where members are expected to participate, a specific tempo or energy that people need to bring in to the community or organization. I prefer to see engagement as A SLIDER. We need to provide differentiated means for people to engage in ways that are nurturing for them. Engagement means empowering people to connect, contribute, activate, support and respond in ways that are regenerative. This means we take into account the depth, breadth and focus that is possible for an individual in a given moment.
