Collective Leadership for Renewal
Our New Programme Running 14 September to 25 November 2020
Introduction
It seems clear that the breadth and scale of impact of Covid warrants the time to stop and reflect together on what we have learned, challenging ourselves to consider the really important aspects that would feel wrong to ignore for the generations ahead. Collective Leadership for Renewal is our offer into this space, inviting colleagues to participate in a series of conversations and practices that will create time, safe space and opportunity for deep reflection and learning with others, allowing to emerge together the most important elements of our learning from Covid that we wish to take into our wider work and lives.
The Programme will include hosted Leadership Conversations, BaseCamp Groups, Guided Journaling, Mindfulness and Creative and Experimental Practice workshops, alongside an ongoing focus on images for Renewal. Have a look at the programme overview below to see what events are happening when.
