Participants in these narrative-based workshops will learn from each other through a series of theme focused, professionally facilitated discussions. The objective is to gain insight into sustainable development as a complex system and how leaders might work within complexity to nurture emergent solutions where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Workshops will explore new ground but will also offer participants practical knowledge and tools that can be applied in their current work.
Each workshop will be scheduled over 1.5 days with morning and afternoon sessions the first day and a morning session the following day. A brief 45-minute orientation and technical session will be offered at multiple times the day before the workshop begins.
We encourage you to participate in all three workshops, but you may opt to participate in one or two if that is what your schedule allows. It is not possible to participate in part of a workshop as the sessions build on each other and require continuity.
There is no fee for these online workshops. If this work piques your curiosity, please mark the date in your calendars. A full information package will be available prior to registration in early October.
