Facilitator Notes: Ubuntu Without Obligation
Introduce a relational practice while protecting cultural humility, consent, and access.
Facilitator guidance
Introduce Ubuntu with respect for its Southern African roots and diverse interpretations. Ask whether this relational lens fits; do not ask one participant to represent a whole culture. Participation, disclosure, giving, and receiving are optional, and community obligations must not override safety or personal limits.
