This professional development event will explore collaborative decision-making and sharing power with communities. The session will include a presentation by Chrissie Tiller, introducing the ‘Power Up’* resource, insights from Liz Moreton from Battersea Arts Centre on the co-creating change network and Henrietta Imoreh, Founder of Redefine - a theatre company for care leavers. Participants will also have the opportunity to work collaboratively exploring and unpicking questions included in Power Up relating to: power, privilege, values, collaboration, politics and ethics.

*Power Up is a think-piece written by Chrissie Tiller for Creative People and Places that looks at unearthing and unpicking some of the complexities and challenges of sharing power.
