Guidelines & Community Agreements

The Creative Aging Foundations live sessions are designed for learners to engage experientially and actively. To do this successfully, we ask all participants to actively participate and engage during the sessions just as if we were together in person.

We request that you: 
  • Review pre-work assignments and videos in the portal prior to each day’s session so you can be fully prepared to engage in the live sessions.
  • If possible, please use a laptop or desktop computer to log in to the Zoom sessions. If you must log in using a phone or tablet, please have the device in a secure non-mobile set up to reduce disruptions.
  • Keep your video on if you have a camera on your computer, tablet, or phone. 
  • Keep your microphones muted, unless asked to unmute yourself.
  • Engage in all activities and contribute ideas when invited to do so. 
  • Break-out room group discussions will be used often, please be ready to fully participate.
  • Add questions or comments to the Chat anytime.  Trainers will track the questions and will address questions that come up during the Q&A sections at the end of each live session. Feel free to share resources with your fellow learners via the chat as well. 
  • Have paper or notebook and pen/pencil/marker available for notes and activities during the training.
Community Agreements 

To create a positive learning environment in the live sessions, we ask that you:

  • Be present.  Honor this time to learn and share in community with others.
  • Limit distractions in your learning space. To remain focused on the training, set aside other work-related responsibilities during the three sessions. 
  • Take care of yourself: Do what you need to be present in the space (take a break, grab a snack or a drink of water, etc.)
  • Some discussion questions are personal – especially with regards to feelings regarding age and aging.  Please hold space for one another, and share only what you feel comfortable sharing.
  • What’s said here stays here, what’s learned here leaves here.
