More than you imagine is possible…North East Together’s whole network event 26
Building, maintaining and developing momentum for change and effective collaboration: early insights from LocalMotion.
What might happen when six funders collaborate with each other and with six places across England and Wales over 10 years? We’ll hear about the first three years of LocalMotion’s ambitious, system change journey from both the local and national perspective. We’ll hear from Kathleen Kelly, LocalMotion’s director of collaboration, and from LocalMotion Middlesbrough’s core team.
As we’re on our own journey through the North East Together collaboration toolkit, we’re asking our speakers to reflect on the following areas in their storytelling…
Conflicts and tensions: We know how, why and when conflicts and tensions happen, and how to resolve them
Goals, indicators, outcomes, impact: We have ways to plan, measure what we’re doing, reflect and learn, and share what we’re doing with others
Leadership: We have the leadership roles, practices and skills to nurture, care for and lead our collaboration
Governance: We have the right governance for our collaboration
Our outline timings are
16:15-16:45 - arriving, settling in, mingling and informal networking
16:45-19:30 - More than you imagine is possible with inspiring speakers, conversations together, and learning from each other
19:30-20:00 - informal networking in the room
20:00 to later - more informal networking in local bar aka after party, if you're free
About North East Together
Our collective mission here at North East Together is to create the conditions, and platform for, collaboration to become the norm in the north east and to nurture a healthier social change system. Together we can do this.
We believe that bringing people together to tackle social injustice will create positive change - in our communities, organisations and the social systems we live and work within. Our network offers mutual support, enables collaboration and inspires social leaders. We offer a series of dynamic network events; whole day events; self-organised collaborative working groups; pathways into coaching; and independent social change events. It’s for leaders from the voluntary, charity, social enterprise, education, public and private sectors. It’s for experienced, new and future leaders of organisations, work, and ideas.
North East Together is hosted by Yes We Can and is a collaboration between Yes We Can and Newcastle University Business School.
