The Blueprint

Mastering Inclusive Intervention Design

Designing Inclusive Interventions • Lesson 5

The Final Design

You will design a 4-Session Community-Building Curriculum for a specific population of your choice.

Identify the cultural barriers and power dynamics of your target group.

Select and sequence sociometric, circle, and repair tools.

Explain why these tools foster belonging for THIS group.

Scaffolding Group Safety

1

Finding surface commonalities to build initial rapport.

2

Moving to the center with protected speech protocols.

3

Addressing identity-based friction as it arises.

4

Closing the circle and carrying belonging outside.

Critical Peer Review Questions

Does the activity only center visible identities, or does it invite the 'hidden' networks of the group?

Is any part of this design inherently exclusionary to neurodivergent, disabled, or ELL members?

Is there enough processing time to safely integrate the vulnerability shared in the action?

Does the design accidentally reward those who already hold societal power?

"A group of adolescents in a grief support group has become fractured. One subgroup is dominating the silence while another is checking out."

Your Task

Pitch 3 interventions in 15 minutes that re-center belonging. GO.
