What is the purpose of this 2-day training?
Argyll is a vast geography and different communities face different issues, including de- population which is a considerable challenge across the area. We are offering a space to explore the values of self, nature, our shared knowledge of history and community, to work in leadership roles and to collectively address these challenges.
This is an invitation to gather a community of practitioners who share values, personal and collective practices and ideas to take forward the advantages of good leadership and collaborative learning across all sectors in Argyll.
Through learning and practising together, we aim to develop a deeper understanding of the main issues facing Argyll and to build connections with others who live and work here, creating the space, content, courage and support to build confidence & capacity for ongoing work to benefit our communities.

How do we build a solid foundation for generative collaboration in Argyll?
How can we practise more harmonious ways of organising ourselves, each other and the work that really matters?
How do we invite others in a humane, real way to work collaboratively across sectors?
How do we create inspired and connected teams, committed to creating meaningful impact in Argyll?
How do we create structures that reflect and support the deeper purpose of the need and purpose we are seeing in the area?
Where has good practice worked before in your experience, and what are the good stories of application that can inspire and strengthen our work locally?
How do we understand the ancient history of Argyll to learn well from the past to help create an interesting future with others?
