Cooking With Stories with Andrew Rixon & Cathryn Lloyd | 5:30PM | FRIDAY 27th

SPRINGTIME SEPTEMBER SFN SPECIAL!
NOTE: FRIDAY 27th
Story and narratives provide facilitators rich opportunities to enable groups, teams, organisations and communities to work together and productively navigate complexity. Drawing on their recently published book "The Story Cookbook: Practical Recipes for Change", Andrew Rixon and Cathryn Lloyd will explore a number of story-based activities for facilitators to reflect on what opportunities working with story and narrative approaches can provide within their own practice.

In our August SFN we had a rare treat. Four UTS Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation students shared a facilitation model of their own creation which was a workshop game designed for facilitators to ‘help prime your participants for genuine deliberation and consensus-building’. It was inspiring to witness the creativity and courage of these yourng facilitators. They recenty sent the SFN a followup message:

“We’d like to thank you again for allowing us to come last month to test Plott and all your great feedback. We’re happy to say we’ve taken that feedback onboard and updated the facilitators note and the experience where necessary. Those who are interested in using the tool in their workshops can request a deck online at Plott.Cards
