We live in turbulent times. Those of us with a vision of a better future need spaces to come together and plan a way forward.
Be part of the community - with hope, resilience and determination - for a full day of discussion, exploration & creation of our own action paths, at the 'IDEAS TO ACTION' DAY.
THE QUESTION: As citizens with power, how can we build the future we want? A FULL DAY OF DISCUSSION, EXPLORATION & ACTION Do you feel like the world has gone mad? Or that the pace of change is too fast to stay on top of? Fed up of political turbulence and odd decisions? Put your citizen power to use (solving big and small problems) in a day of solution seeking and problem solving. Immerse yourself in citizen power, reflection and collective action Start building the world we want at the Full Circle day of action. |
We expect it to be a stimulating, fun but intense day. We'd like everyone to come out of it, knowing more about the challenges but also the possibilities, and an idea of what to do next. We really want you to commit for the full day but understand if you can't. Each one of us will join 1 morning and 1 afternoon session covering 2 out of 4 themes: Peace & Security I Democracy I Climate I Social Justice We'll be sending out some podcast links, reading, videos....... in advance, so cover as much as you can. All workshops will be guided by seriously good specialists, and methodologically kept on track to get the most from our sessions. Our various sessions will be summarised, synthesised and sewn together to share the insights and actions across the group. ATTENDEES
