⁍ Who is this for?
⁍ Why use this activity?
⁍ What is the expected output?
This resource is for any organisation, community or group who employs (or hopes to employ) democratic decision-making processes and practices.
This is especially for you if you are a team that is either coming together to…
Explore new practices and reflect on what team members are interested in.
Make your practices explicit and actionable: these may be practices you already employ or hope to employ.
This is an opportunity to come together and have conversations you might not get a chance to in your normal day to day.
Why use this activity?
There are two ways to use this activity: exploratory and action oriented. To-date we have the exploratory tools available and will continue to elaborate these materials.
You might use this during a team away day, as a team building exercise, or you might want to do it with us as part of a workshop offering. This may be pertinent because you are going through a transition or just because the collective energy is a bit stagnant, but whatever the reason, the goal is to give you time to play with new ideas.
Our current module focuses on relational economies and so it is particularly suited to organisations that are looking for new ways of funding themselves, or new ways of operating within economies at different scales (primarily locally and nationally).
What is the expected output?
For the exploratory phase the expected output is a set of new relations between the concepts presented, and an understanding of what sorts of tactics your group members are interested in or perhaps even have experience in.
