The Strong Circle Power Tool allows for effective communication between the members of small to medium sized groups. All members of the group stand shoulder to shoulder in a tight circle. No one stands inside the circle and no one is outside of the circle. There should be no food or drink in the circle, either, only notebooks and pens. The Strong Circle allows for inclusivity, because with everyone able to make eye contact and see and hear one another, there is a forum opened to allow for free discussion of a topic.
The Strong Circle is used all over City Year. Every day, teams will start off with First Circle, a check-in and announcement time. Circles throughout the day, especially on service days, can help keep everyone on the same page. Final circle can provide a great space to debrief the day.
