We’ll explore what participation means, how it feels for people who participate in projects, where power sits in systems, and then turn to look at the ethics and tensions of participation in our work. We’ll think about the tools that we can use to undertake ethical participation, including reflections on when it is and is not appropriate. We have five free spaces reserved for those from Global Majority countries and those working in grassroots/ community organisations. Outcomes: By attending these sessions, you’ll develop Connections and learning from people working with participation across the globe A deeper understanding of the ethics of participation, moving from tokenism to transformation Practical knowledge of the different tools that can be used to support participation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea19c69986dad560584b4de/830f6202-7159-46a8-91cd-9b9576098f2f/unsplash-image-MyzKYhcHkmg.jpg workshop programme - Feminist Leadership This workshop programme has taken place and will reopen for bookings soon. “Everything was considered and helpful – a really great use of time for me at this time!” “Mansi and Ellie were fantastic – very warm facilitators, made the ‘room’ feel like a safe space to be open.” “This training has helped me understand my reactions and given me language and tools to do things differently.” “Absolutely brilliant – so caring and compassionate in how they shared with our group.” https://www.thecollectivescotland.co.uk/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.thecollectivescotland.co.uk/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-ttm57 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.thecollectivescotland.co.uk/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-eylne monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.thecollectivescotland.co.uk/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-yhdzy monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
