📣 Announcing: 9 X Collective Imagination ‘Huddles’
Peer-led learning journeys for the Collective Imagination Practice Community: incubating collective imagination practice.
As part of our programme of activity for the Collective Imagination Practice Community across 2023–24, a series of deeper, peer-led learning journeys (known as Huddles) will be popping up around the world, hosted by members of the community. Some will begin in the summer, others in autumn.
We’re thinking of these Huddles as ‘seed containers’ where we’ll incubate collective imagination practice over several months, by exploring a shared imagination practice topic or question in depth.
Reminder: what’s a Huddle and why are we doing that?
For >6 years Huddlecraft have been creating infrastructure for peer-to-peer learning and action, in the form of networks of Huddles which pop up through our own Host Fellowship and our collaborations, e.g. a network of ‘Renegade Economist’ peer learning journeys putting Doughnut Economics principles into practice in their neighbourhoods (with CIVIC SQUARE and Doughnut Economics Action Lab).
Huddles are purposeful, peer-led learning journeys, undertaken by small groups of peers who pool their knowledge, experience, perspectives and creativity, with the support of a host and a structure, to co-develop their learning and development.
The Collective Imagination Huddle hosts have completed their training and refined their themes — and are now inviting expressions of interest and/or applications!
Read on to find out more.
