Q: Can you explain what is the "Buddy System" and how it works? A: The Buddy System is a small group that remains the same during the 8 weeks of the program, allowing for deeper conversations The Buddy System is created before the first session of the program, and -considering the preference of language and the time zone selected during the registration- participants are randomly assigned to each team. An email is send before the first session, where you can get in touch with your buddies. The Buddy System meets once a week, outside of the weekly program session Each Buddy System agrees on when and for how long to chat It is recommended that you meet at least for 5 minutes per participant to chat Buddy system meetings are used to: Connect with each other Discuss what part of the practice was challenging Share ideas, insights, or ah-ha” moments What you liked the most, etc
Q: I am on holidays for part of the program, so I will miss some of the sessions - is that a problem? A: a couple of things here to consider: There is no need to report this to the coordinators, reason is the accountability resides in the participant and the Buddy System If you miss a session, you get in touch with your buddy system and let them know.
