Do More, Faster, and Involve Everyone, Using Sociocracy - An Introductory Workshop

 Registration is closed for this event
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.

Delivered by One You East Sussex. Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is a behaviour change approach that utilises the millions
of day-to-day interactions organisations and individuals have with people to support them in making positive changes to their physical health and mental wellbeing. MECC enables the opportunistic delivery of healthy lifestyle information and enables conversations about health at scale across organisations.

Members of the team at Seaview who have experience in delivering training agreed to support a group of people with lived experience of substance misuse to develop their own training programme, raising awareness about drug and alcohol-related issues among the wider workforce. Thanks to a small grant awarded and support from Dr Daren Britt, Principle Lecturer in Criminology and substance misuse at Brighton University, Seaview were able to recruit the peer trainers who developed training with a unique lived experience perspective with support from some experienced trainers. The result is Connect, lived experience drug and alcohol training.
