At our first meeting we had a round of talks about why we have come together at Visions for Change and agreed that subsequent meetings should include:
- shout-outs: about upcoming events and activities by groups and individuals
- action networking: connecting individuals to set up activities and support each other outside VFC
- education on issues: have discussions on issues we feel need to be discussed in this space. We do not want to duplicate discussions and talks already taking place, but a number of us felt the need to educate ourselves in this informal round on progressive issues. Discussions will first take place in small groups of max. 7 people on the same issue. Then we have one person from each group sit in a fish-bowl format conversation and feedback and discuss the outcome of the groups.
The fourth aspect we agreed VfC should be about is 'socializing', thus after our two hour meeting there is time for a drink in the bar afterwards! Vanessa Buth
