Workshop: Horizons Project

Our Shared Future: Integrating Approaches to Social Change 

What it is: In this workshop we will learn about the many networks and approaches working towards social change; leaning into different frameworks that surface natural tensions, and uncovering the mindsets needed to identify and execute potential complementarity within different social change efforts. 

What you’ll learn:   

• Reflect on and grapple with the brain science of uncertainty and certainty in order to break down siloes in our work.  
• Understand the Polarities Management framework and use “both/and” thinking as a tool to pierce our own assumptions and get the most out of our collaborations across difference.  
• Explore the “block/bridge/build” ecosystem to understand natural inclinations towards change-making, how we decide where we can make the most difference, and how to be in relationship with those in different parts of the ecosystem.
