Listening Circles
From listening to leading.
Listening Circles are structured gatherings where young people listen to a KNC conversation and reflect together—turning storytelling into practical learning, mentorship, and ethical leadership.
Best group size: 8–20 participants
Schools, campuses, youth centers, community spaces, or online.

How a Listening Circle works
A repeatable process that makes reflection practical and youth-friendly.
1
Listen
Play a full conversation or selected clips (20–45 minutes).
2
Reflect
Participants write one insight and one question before discussion.
3
Discuss
Use prompts to explore leadership, values, dignity, and responsibility.
4
Commit
Each person names one small action to practice before the next meeting.
