To facilitate growth, creativity and practical action, each meeting will centre around a relevant topic. Each meeting will have a broad agenda as follows:
  • a concise introductory session on the topic;
  • a discussion session to support:
    • innovation
    • dialogue
    • and action plans.
You are encouraged to attend the whole series in order to get the maximum benefit out of the group meetings.

 
Please note that all of the points above are intended as open-ended questions for discussion. Any discussion is on a completely informal basis and based on opinion.
