Learn how to get your work done with Sociocracy, a consent-based way of making decisions and organising groups. In half a day, you’ll get theory, examples, and practical experience applying the principles of Sociocracy to issues that matter to you and other participants.
Participants will learn:
• The principles of Consent, Circles, Feedback, and Elections by Consent, and how applying these principles can bring healthy forms of collaborative power into any group.
• The history of Sociocracy, how Sociocracy came to be adopted in the world’s largest communities movement, and how this movement from the global South is now being adopted across Europe.
• How to facilitate a group decision using the principle of Consent.
• Why asking for objections enables visionaries and sceptics to work together effectively.
• When not to make decisions by consent, and how traditional ways of leading are an important part of the way forward.
This introductory program will run for an initial half day, and will then be supplemented by a follow up session a few weeks later.

Organisations that have a focus on staff wellbeing improve their employees’ overall health and increase workplace performance. Employers that invest in Wellbeing at Work Schemes have less absenteeism and create a positive workplace culture.
Come to our event to hear about the experiences of organisations that have already signed up to Wellbeing at Work Schemes and their work towards an accredited Wellbeing at Work Award. You will learn how you can become a Wellbeing at Work Champion for your organisation. We are keen to hear your suggestions for information that would be useful to put in a Staff Wellness Handbook and a Wellness at Work Plan for staff.
