Conversation Circles
Conversation Circles: Futures/Now
SENVIC is programming a series of small, informal virtual forums for social enterprise practitioners to:
- Connect: Create an opportunity for practitioner-led dialog, collaboration and problem-solving.
- Strengthen: Build a deeper understanding of the features of and path towards a fair, inclusive and sustainable economy.
- Influence: Identify opportunities for social enterprise to shape the new economy today and accelerate our advocacy.
The dissonance of ‘Futures/Now’ is a provocation for social enterprise to harness the unprecedented disruption and activate the power of social enterprise to generate alternative futures now. Dream it. Do it.
It’s about dialogue, not monologue. These ‘Conversation circles’ are not webinars, but will be facilitated to maximise participation and active learning by SENVIC members. Subject-matter experts will attend to facilitate conversation only.
Come and use your voice. SENVIC has partnered with RMIT to collate your views for our advocacy work.
