Feedback on our Co-creator Call agenda...

M Maria Public Seen by 49

Hi there,

Hope everyone's well!

Our last co-creator call was very fruitful and energetic and in particular there was some focused breakout room conversation which opened up for new ideas and connection in the big room.

On Monday (Oct 5th, 5.30-7.00pm) we have yet another co-creator call and this time we thought we'd identify or suggest some breakout room topics beforehand. Also, if it is more clear what we will be talking about, more people will know what they are showing up for and contributing to. Hopefully it can entice new people to come!

We chose these mainly because there seem to already be deep conversations happening around these in our group and it would be great to expand on that and bring more people in.

A/UK Youth / Education @Rosamonde Birch @Ollie Bream McIntosh

Housing / Co-living / Community spaces @Anton Chernikov @Vincent Spehner @Dean Bowles

Building Networks (strengthening / expanding our co-creator group) @Bob Bollen

Citizen Action Networks (CANs) @Kayleigh

New Political Development & Ideas (Peter Barden?)

Diversity / BAME in the Media (see this from Parmjit Nahil https://youtu.be/OaSgJPELkBw who'll be coming on Monday)

What do you think? Did we miss something?

Please do make suggestions and say if you can come and which topic you'd like to discuss/contribute to.

Perhaps also say if you think it is a good idea to set the topics before hand or not?

I'll send out the email with link + agenda tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you,

Maria

Sounds good. Will you stick me on that call? I have put it in my diary.

Im interested in anything relating to independent councillors and flatpack democracy 2021 so probably up for the new political developments and ideas group.

Thanks

Hey! Sorry I've been completely missing from the Alternative UK scene for a while now. I would be happy to offer some advice and discussions on CANs and what I've learned from my attempted launch of Co-Create Sheppey. If there's anything in particular people wanted to discuss let me know and I will prepare some stuff in advance.

I will also add everything else sounds great and I look forward to getting back involved with A/UK

That'd be awesome Kayleigh. I'd personally love to hear about your learnings from getting people involved/engaged.

Hey, Since waking up this morning I've had quite a lot of flu symptoms come very quickly, leaving me with a sore throat and just incredibly tired. I will make a forum post later highlighting what I wanted to say today and will be more than happy to talk another time. I'm so sorry for having to bail at the last minute and I apologise for any inconvenience this causes.

Thanks Maria, I can join from 5.30 - 6.30 on Monday just for timings of the breakout rooms. Looking forward to having a more detailed discussion with anyone interested in the Youth A/UK work - see attached document for our summary ideas so far. Looking forward to catching up with everyone, Roz :)

P.S. I am also keen to join conversations around Peter's project - not sure if he can join next week? But if there is a chance to have two rounds of the discussions so we can join more than one topic that would be great? Thanks :)

Just leaving some feedback here after today's co-creator call - my first! Loved the conversation, learnt some new things and came away with a few things to look up and learn more about. Lots of diverse experience in the room made it immediately generative, with lots of bouncing off one another. Will be back again for sure, and would really encourage anyone that's wondered about taking part, but not yet done so, to do so ASAP. 'The Alternative' doesn't happen if we don't talk to each other about it!

Hi all,

In order for our fortnightly co-creator call to alternate with our fortnightly 'The Elephant Meets...' event, our upcoming call will be pushed one week forward...  Thus the next co-creator call will be on Monday the 26th of Oct @5:30-7:00pm. Link and agenda to come!

More in the Co-Creator Update that has just gone out.

Hope to see you on Tuesday though, for 'The Elephant Meets... Plymouth art/design collective Still/Moving'. They'll share some insights on why and how art help us to think and feel our way to build a better system, in response to our multiple crises. And we'll get to ask questions and discuss.
