Participatory workshop: Tuesday 19th April | 10:00-13:00 | Free  | Online

Despite a genuine desire in the sector to create more equitable ways of working, many attempts are experienced as tokenistic or even exploitative. People are rejecting the social sector as a place through which to seek change, which is a loss for all of us because it reduces our collective strength.  

Trying to drive change on behalf of others isn’t working. Learning to work together, in active solidarity, is a critical challenge of our time – particularly for the social sector – and we think understanding power can help.   

Our new guide, It’s All About Power, issues a challenge and an invitation to start conversations about power at the very heart of social sector organisations. The aim of these conversations is to create the conditions, within each organisation, for more equitable relationships to flourish with people who profoundly understand the consequences of inequality and its potential solutions. 

There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, so there’s no checklist. Participants in this three-hour participatory workshop will:

Hear from us, and others involved, about the Power Project so far
Learn more about the ideas and tools in our new guide, It’s All About Power.
Explore together what it means to start putting those ideas into practice in your work – to shift unconscious behaviours, organisational cultures and structures, policies and decision-making, and how resources are used.

Please note: Our funders have asked us to collate information about who will be attending this event. You will be asked to share some details about yourself when you book, but feel free to tick ‘prefer not to say’ if that’s best for you.
