A WHOLE NEW WAY OF THINKING ABOUT NEIGHBOURHOODS

"Thanks for a fantastic day"

"We all had a great time and have certainly taken away some new ways of thinking which will benefit us all moving forward." Neighbourhood Managers - Manchester City Council

A WHOLE NEW WAY OF THINKING ABOUT NEIGHBOURHOODS

Our Transformative Community Building one day event encourages people and organisations to see their unlimited potential and harness imaginative and creative ideas that lead to powerful change within individuals, teams and neighbourhoods.

Our ethos is to harness the potential within neighbourhoods, by starting with the people who live and work there.

In essence you can:

Start Where You Live: as a first step, explore resilience and the human connections in your neighbourhood.

Start Where You Work: imagine seeing the places where you work with fresh new eyes and perspectives, and see beyond your current world view of how neighbourhoods work.

Start Where You Are: How might a clear mind increase your ability to transform in ways you thought impossible until now? There are new and bold realities waiting for you when you realise for yourself that it's the limits in your thinking that are holding you back right now.

Throughout the day we will explore:

THE THREE DIMESIONS OF NEIGHBOURHOOD CHANGE
