I'm very excited to facilitate this important Folio Conversation with Emma Fletcher (CoCeo, democracyco). Why so excited? Folio Conversations bring diverse citizens together — from different sectors, disciplines, occupations and backgrounds — to explore the big issues of our times in an intimate and trusted setting. It's a unique space to listen, contribute, and challenge ourselves and each other as citizens to meaningfully engage with issues of common concern. Online Folio Conversations are not like your normal webinar or panel discussion. We prioritise interactive dialogue between our Conversation Leader and all attendees, and follow with the Chatham House Rule to promote open, honest and inclusive dialogue. These small group conversations provide unparalleled access to incredible thinkers and doers like Emma, who is pushing the envelope of deliberative democracy and citizen engagement. Seats are limited to ensure that everyone can participate. You can register your seat on our website: https://lnkd.in/g8dDWh8f. Tickets are free for Folio members | $20 for guests. If you're interested in connecting with diverse citizens and joining more conversations this year, I recommend considering Folio membership. It's great value and helps shape the future direction of this unique community. #conversationsthatmatter #dialogue #democracy #participation #citizens

If any of these issues are of interest to you, make sure you register for this event asap - spaces are limited ?? Event details below and registration at this link https://lnkd.in/e7mn6fuq ??

The Melting Pot Edinburgh did a phenomenal job of hosting a series of events in 23-24 on the theme of 'Bridging Communities'. The Team built connections with?33 community groups?and hosted almost?350 people?across?five different events. Why did events work? 1. If you look at the video (gorgeously shot and edited) from their conference earlier in the year, you'll see the investment in creativity. Doing things with a bit of 'pzazz' and colour reaps rewards. 2. People want to cross-pollinate. In our algorithm-ed world, we want to take time to find people who are 'not like us' and learn from them. 3. Relationships were real. This wasn't a quick, 'Hi, you don't know me but can we borrow your community to look like we co-designed'. This was genuine investment and mutual benefit. 4. Behind every sleek event is a range of skilled professionals who make it look easy, and often glossy and slick. Among them were Helen Denny and Anna Brow. 5. Conversations weren't taken for granted. Facilitators were poised and ready to help people connect. Well, that's all lovely. Where next? Have a watch of the video, digest the report and please, please get in touch with the team if you are able to sponsor or partner the next iteration of events. The future is all about turning energy into action.... #CommunityDevelopment #SocialEnterprise https://lnkd.in/dbKraBbX https://lnkd.in/d_qndeec

'Empty Chairs & Who's Not There' It was great to be back in Sunderland yesterday, chatting to people I haven't seen in a while still fighting, still standing and still banging the drum for holistic regeneration of places that they call home, with Arts, Culture & Communities at their core. The Insights North East Annual Conference #INEConference24 at the Fire Station opened with key notes from Kim McGuinness and Fiona Hill 'If you're proud to be a Northerner clap your hands' - both were inspirational and poignant placing the struggles of the North East at the centre of devolution as a potential nebulous for positive growth and change They spoke with one foot in the past and the other very much poised ready to leap hand in hand with the North East into its future They touched upon a subject close ro my heart, the need to constantly revisit, challenge and ponder who aren't yet in the conversation and what are the barriers to why this is still so. A theme that was echoed in the breakout session 'The Unseen policymakers: embedding community voices and remaking social infrastructure' [Panel: Kate Burrows Durham Community Action, Paula McCormack Save the Children, Liz Todd Newcastle University, Maeve Mimms Redhills CIO] which is very much my 'Empty Chairs & Who's Not There' element of my practice. It was interesting hearing from different perspectives on this - the question was raised again challenging reflection on the format and accessibility and intent of these events and ways in which conversations can be moved from talking to listening and what impact this may have in breaking the often cyclical rhetoric that prevents fast nimble responses to community issues and their escalation to policy makers to effect change in a tangible manner. Lots to unpack, reflect and learn from but I feel my biggest takeaway was ' How can we bridge the preconcieved chasm of difference between highly knowledgeable academics and those who would benefit from that knowledge to help them, put the kettle on and get stuff done' It was great to catch up with some old faces and make some new connections- as ever their never seems enough time to do this element justice as it can often be for me the most productive element of a conference. If you were there too I'd love to hear your thoughts, takeaways and reflections on the day.
