an invitation to explore & practice the art of participatory leadership |
|
The cracks. It seems that wherever we look, old systems and power structures are shaking as our communities and cultures seek to make sense of and navigate multiple, interconnected systemic dynamics tugging and re-weaving the fabric of our societies - spiralling costs of living, emerging exponential technologies reshaping our world, education and culture, and an accelerating climate and biodiversity crisis arising from humanity pushing far beyond our ecological limits to name a few.
The need. Many of us individually experience such dynamics impacting our lives, institutions and cultures, but there is often a lack of space and time available to collaborate to address them. We believe people are looking for such spaces of collaboration and that meeting this need requires people across society who have the skills and capacities to invite, host and harvest conversations at the emerging edge of culture today - from the kitchen table to the water cooler to the board room to the centre of our democracies. The invitation. This training is an invitation to explore, learn and practice ways and methods to grow our capacity and courage to invite, host and harvest the conversations that matter at the emerging edge of our culture today? |
