PLACING THE POWER IN THE HANDS OF OUR COMMUNITIES. HOW DOES IT WORK, ESP WITH YOUNG PEOPLE?

You are invited to explore …

Mon 10 July, 2023 10.30am - 4.30pm, Key Theatre, Peterborough (Free to attend)

Jumped Up Theatre (Peterborough) and a number of other national partners, have co-authored a Disrupt Toolkit to help organisations and communities unpack the power dynamics when working with communities, in the arts and beyond.

Centring young people in the decision-making about work with young people, works. It supports them to grow, connect and dig deep. It revitalises organisations, structures and processes. It generates greater success, sustainability and legacy.

It can be scary handing over power. The outcomes are uncertain, in a world with plenty of uncertainty already. It tests the depth of our expertise, our relationships with funders and stakeholders, and the authenticity of our beliefs.

Come to this Open Space event and dive into a pool of shared solutions, challenges, and insights.

This event is the first of three which aims to bring together communities, funders, artists, cultural and third sector organisations in an Open Space format to unpack and redesign how we might work more collaboratively and equitably with communities, using the toolkit as a jumping off point.

Disrupt Partners will be providing lunch and refreshments throughout the day, and facilitation is provided by nationally reknowned Improbable Theatre. Tickets are free but prebooking is essential.

This event is inspired by DISRUPT toolkit chapters ‘On the Shoulders of others’ and ‘Putting the community and the heart of project governance’ (Jumped Up Theatre) and ‘We need to change how the arts are governed’ (Slung Low).
