Gearing up for our collaboration journeys…North East Together’s whole network event 24
Be part of our collaboration learning journey in 2023 and 2024.
We know our region faces challenges and opportunities that no one person or organisation can resolve or respond to alone. We also recognise the need to embrace complexity and systems thinking when we reflect on the health of our social systems in the north east in order to develop more nuanced and ultimately effective interventions. Embracing complexity and systems thinking requires a fundamental commitment to working collaboratively.
Together we can.
We will be getting hold of the North East Together collaboration framework we previewed at our whole network event in November 2022. We will share the whole framework, giving you time to explore it together, before going deeper into what we might need to do to make sure we are ready to collaborate with others, what we might need to do to gear up for collaborating. We will hear from two speakers, which we will announce soon, sharing their local and regional stories of collaboration.
Our outline timings are
13:00-13:30 - arriving, settling in, mingling and informal networking
13:30-16:30 - Gearing up for our collaboration journeys
16:30-17:00 - informal networking in the room
17:00 to later - more informal networking and food, if you are free
About North East Together
North East Together is the network for social change leadership in the north east.
Our collective mission here at North East Together is to create the conditions, and platform for, collaboration to become the norm in the north east and to nurture a healthier social change system. Together we can do this.
We believe that bringing people together to tackle social injustice will create positive change - in our communities, organisations and the social systems we live and work within. Our network offers mutual support, enables collaboration and inspires social leaders. We offer a series of dynamic network events; whole day events; self-organised collaborative working groups; pathways into coaching; and independent social change events. It’s for leaders from the voluntary, charity, social enterprise, education, public and private sectors. It’s for experienced, new and future leaders of organisations, work, and ideas.
North East Together is hosted by Yes We Can and is a collaboration between Yes We Can and Newcastle University Business School.
