The role can be shared between two people, reducing the time commitment necessary.
Healthy Teams is a cohesive group of XR volunteers with a wealth of experiences in working with groups and a focus on creating and maintaining healthy functioning teams.
The purpose of Healthy Teams is teams working as part of XR do so in alignment with the movement’s Principles and Values, dealing with interpersonal and operational tensions as they arise.
The key role of the External Coordinator (EC) is that the team is represented in the broader circle, and aware of that circle’s work and priorities.
Some of the EC tasks include:
- Representing the mandate of the team within meetings of the broader circle, and asking another member of the team to attend when they’re not available.
- Communicating the plan and work of the broader circle to the team.
- Reporting on the health of this team to the broader circle.
- Taking issues that can’t be resolved in the team to the broader circle.
- Exchanging information with other teams (not their own sub-circles) where this is not already being done by link roles.
