Dear Losing Control networkers,
Are you looking for inspiration for ways to lose control and share power more equally?
In this edition, we are excited to announce the launch of the Losing Control 2020 Network Events Programme offering a range of workshops hosted by members from within the network itself.
From storytelling for change to collaborating to stimulate local systems change and building personal resilience, the Losing Control network events offers you an opportunity to learn specific skills or insights from hosts who have actually applied them before and know what they’re talking about.
Take a peek below and we hope to see you at our upcoming events!
Losing Control at Stronger Things: Unleashing Community Power
Losing Control is pleased to be hosting a session at the New Local Government Network (NLGN) conference: Stronger Things: Unleashing Community Power on March 12 2020 in London.
We invite you to join us at our session The Darkest Confessions of a Community Empowerer
Leave your phones at the door for this candid completely confidential and fully participatory session exploring what happens when community empowerment goes wrong. Penitents who dare will be asked what went wrong, what they did to make amends and what they would do differently next time.
Tickets to the event are free, get yours here.
Let us know (email Karen@thesocialchangeagency.org) if you are planning to come along – we would love to meet you at the event or perhaps plan a meet-up with other Losing Control networkers there
