Building Blocks 3: Team Power

Making social change requires energy and passion – but sustaining that work takes resources, strategies, and supportive ways of working. It is becoming increasingly important for supporters, volunteers and team members to feel a sense of belonging within organisations they can trust. 

The tools shared in the final workshop of this series will focus on the importance of effective communication, self-awareness, fostering collaborative mindsets and resolving conflicts. You’ll leave the workshop with:

• A better idea of how participants might themselves show up within a team
• Increased awareness of collaborative decision making processes and inclusive approaches
• Confidence to take some of these tools into practice with your organisation
• An understanding of cultivating a culture of learning and solidarity in your movement and how to effectively manage change

Don’t miss out. Register to join us on November 19th.
