Program structure

 

SESSION 1
BEING
CHANGE

2, 3, 4 September

BE THE CHANGE YOU
WANT TO SEE

Who do we need to be to create the change we want to see? How do we listen deeply for shared values and opportunities to leverage change? How do we keep an eye on the big picture as we work to solve problems, shift systems and activate potential? What is it that motivates us and keeps us committed to our work in the face of setbacks and breakdowns?

SESSION 2
DESIGNING CHANGE

14, 15, 16 October

DESIGn DIFFERENTLY
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

How do we design our projects and align grants and strategic plans to simultaneously solve problems, shift systems, and activate our own and our community’s potential for change? How do we see and address the larger systems inherent in the problems we are trying to solve? How do we plan and implement differently to create the impact we want to see?

SESSION 3
LEADING CHANGE

25, 26, 27 November

BE A TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADER

How do we hold multiple perspectives and transcend divisiveness while adhering to universal values? How do we transform inequitable and unsustainable systems and cultures to promote and scale systemic change? How do we align multiple projects and initiatives toward a unified goal, and measure the outcomes over time? How do we empower others to lead the changes they wish to see?

The program runs from 8:30am - 4.30pm each day, and participants are expected to attend all days in all three sessions.

 
 

Learning in action - bring your initiative

You will have the opportunity to work specifically on a case, an initiative or project you are currently working on and passionate about, or something you would like to initiate. This is your breakthrough initiative.

WEEKLY GROUP CALLS

In groups of three, you will connect and engage weekly to support each others growth and practice, and connect with your practitioner coach. This is a highly valued and trusted forum that many participants choose to continue with after completing the three plenary sessions.

Alumni Network

After the program, participants will be invited into the TLFS Alumni Network with regular opportunities to continue practicing, connecting, and learning together, as well as to receive support from the cCHANGE team and network.
