Welcome to this deep-dive into Changemaking!!
This residential is an intensive, immersive & multidisciplinary experience, helping you build a toolkit for making positive change: with purpose, courage, knowledge and ambition. During the week you’ll be invited to focus on:
- yourself, learning to be well to serve well and to know more about who you are;
- developing capacity for getting things done in society, building skilful means;
- and contextualising these in terms of the world – macro systems, systems change and planetary-level considerations.
