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.

MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood of making a real difference this training could be for you. A light lunch will be provided.
Are you new in post or keen to find out more about the sector? This workshop, led by HVA Director Steve Manwaring, will include a briefing about the scale and contribution of the VCSE sector in Hastings, information about the services HVA provide, and an opportunity to hear about and discuss the key issues affecting the sector.
Hastings Voluntary Action and Safe Families are working in partnership to better inform church leaders in Hastings and St Leonards about the range of community projects and networks that HVA are involved with, that may be relevant to their work.
