How can we help networks, collectives, and consortiums to support their members using Healing-Centred Design?

In 2024 we worked with several networks who support social enterprises, freelance practitioners, artists and new projects including Culture Coop in Rochdale, Greater Manchester Live Well and national funder Youth Music.

Networks want to engage members in time efficient, fun and actionable ways. We also held a survey about engagement with learning. The 66 respondents identified their top 3 development needs were, practical guidance, opportunities for collaboration and time management. The top 3 barriers were, time constraints, personal wellbeing and accessibility of resources (especially financial).

So we created ‘Design your Own’!

• A series of short, practical sessions that networks can buy for their members

• Each session guides participants to design actionable, personalised practices and processes

• Tailored feedback on designs to support continued learning

• We will provide access to a cocreated Learning Library that grows over time

What’s Included?

Design your Own sessions begin with a short and creative check in to get everyone feeling comfortable. Participants are then guided in real time to design a blueprint to support wellbeing and impact at work, based on the session topic.

At the end of the session, each participant will have designed a topic-based blueprint which they can submit to us for review and additional feedback/signposting.

All participants are invited to submit their designs to be part of an open source ‘Learning Library’ that we are cocreating in 2025.
