2012 events, CPD and networking meetings

We have an exciting programme of SFCT events coming up for 2012, so please get these dates into your diary.

* Monday 5 March 2012: London: Community/public participation and SF with Edward Andersson
* Monday 18 June 2012: York: Strategic canvassing and SF with Adie Sharriff and Ali Abington
* Monday 15 October 2012: London: Strategic planning, SF and Ai with David Shaked

I am particularly excited about the next meeting on 5 March, as we have a special guest visitor to present. Sf and widescale organisation change was a popular suggestion at the last meeting, and I am delighted to let you know that Edward Andersson, deputy director of Involve (http://www.involve.org.uk) will be joining us to talk about his work in public engagement and for us all to work on thinking about how SF can be applied in different ways to this large-scale change agenda. More news and details of this meeting will be coming soon.

 

SFCT Reviews

I am delighted to announce that John Wheeler has completed his review and is now a Full Member. You can read about his piece of work at http://www.asfct.org/johnwheeler.php.

We have two other UK members working towards reviews currently - do make this a part of your 2012 personal development plan. The way to get involved is to get in touch with Mark McKergow, the English language review co-ordinator, and discuss your piece of work.  Mark will help you find a review coach, who will then be with you throughout the review preparation and discussion phase.
