Many of us experience network meetings where it feels like very little changes, where conversations feel more like debates, and invitations to participate and take part turn out to be something all together different. Instead the real conversations take place in the hallways and in the spaces between our meetings.
Individually we are doing great work, but are we harnessing our collective potential?
The Art of Hosting as a practice has played a significant role in transform...ing my way of being, working and collaborating over the last 6 years since I had the privilege of training in it. I am very excited about bringing this to Bristol and sharing it with people who want to explore new ways of designing spaces for conversation, projects and organisations.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS TRAINING: ​The purpose of this training is to offer tools, models and practices to think through how conversations, networks and organisations can become really participatory, self organising, purpose driven, insightful and effective. ​ The Bristol Social Action Hub also wants to seed the creation of a self-organised network of community organisers, community development practitioners and activists across bristol bringing together those who are aware that the exponentially growing complexity of our present time invites us to explore new ways of working and collaborating beyond our egos and silos, and the best way to this is by entering into conversation, exploring new and better ways to connect with ourselves, each-other and our challenging environments at a deeper level.

Are you looking for better ways to motivate people to get involved in your community or organisation? Are you bothered about what’s going wrong in society? Do you want to bring people to work together to make a change?
Our training will help you start to understand how to listen to people using open ended questions, understand your community and motivate people to take action for a better community.
Community Organising is the work of bringing people together to take acti...on around their common concerns and overcome social injustice. Community Organisers reach out and listen, connect and motivate people to build their collective power.
“We believe that Community Organising has the potential to significantly enhance and strengthen the relationship between individuals, communities, and the institutions and organisations that serve them.”
Our one day training course introduces you to the core foundations of community organising – genuine, effective listening which sparks dialogue and explores motivations, an analysis of power in community and how to build it, and an exploration of how to organise and motivate people to take effective action together to address common concerns.
If you’re keen to start organising in your community and learn more, there are more one-day courses available focusing on specific aspects of the process, and accredited Award and Certificate qualification courses for those who want to go even deeper into the theory and practice of community organising through The Bristol Social Action Hub
“Through community organising the realisation of individual potential and the creation of self-determining communities go hand in hand.”
Come along to the training and further your potential at the same time as finding out how to motivate others in your community.

We would love to welcome your community work experiences to enrich the collective learning on Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 of July at St Christopher's Church, Nottingham, NG2 4AL.
