WHY?

We see an overall need for a sophisticated theory of harvesting to give direction and meaning to our practice, beginning with a deeper understanding about how we learn, know, and make sense of the world around us – as individuals and in groups

To be part of an effective Community of Practice – we learn most effectively with each other when we are sharing stories, designing together and asking for help.

FORMAT?

WHAT IS A DYNAMIC FLEX COURSE?

We are offering a more flexible way for you to engage with our courses. We have taken the treasure chest of recordings form our realtime courses and curated the teachings, exercises and support material into a valuable learning experience that you can engage with on your own time.  At the same time you will learn with a community of peer learners and be able to connect in our live community sessions. The format has these main components:

  • Self paced learning: Through carefully curated bite size videos and audio presenting the core ideas. This allows you to access the teachings when it is convenient for you.
  • A community of peer learners and peer feedback. This allows us to get to know peers from all over the world and reflect on our own practice in the light of what others are doing.
  • Simple exercises to help you integrate your learning in your context.
  • A practice guide for reference and inspiration, that you can print out and take with you.
  • Live Community Calls to inspire and connect throughout the year, where you will be able to share with peers and hear from others working with different topics connected to participatory processes.

"This discussion was really timely - for my work in community.  Learning how to create the container - with minimal structure - to harvest something meaningful - to guide our next steps.  How to ‘notice’ what is emerging and make sense collectively of what is possible and where we might begin. Thank you!"
