Hi folks!

So many of you came along to the Fire Starter Festival our week of engaging taster sessions, workshops and networking events for those interested in creating better public services.  It was a really lively week and we are hoping to continue with events throughout the year.

To give you a flavour of what happened here are links to the blogs (more to follow):-

Monday – Performance Bonfire:- new ways of demonstrating performance in an outcomes world using appreciative inquiry techniques to look at the experience of participants, helping us to glimpse a different “outcomes performance” future, and igniting participants first steps towards it – to follow

Tuesday – Danger Café – a conversation about dangerous ideas to transform public services

Wednesday – Beyond U lab – a day of exploration and discovery around U lab and a conversation about what next – to follow

Thursday – Igniting Inquiry – the hidden power of storytelling – different theory and practice to discover how storytelling can be a transformative practice for anyone involved in public services – no matter how senior or in what organisation.
