Powerful gatherings don’t happen by magic; they require thoughtful preparation: what is the purpose of the gathering, who should be invited, and what kind of structures (in time and space) will create the kind of atmosphere you want? 

 

The Engagement Coordinators network invite you to ‘The Art of Gathering’ workshop where facilitator, Shoshana Boyd Gelfand from The Pears Foundation will present some of the insights of Priya Parker and her framework for creating meaningful gatherings including: identifying the purpose of the gathering, preparing the participants for the experience, crafting a powerful opening moment and closing the gathering well. 

 

This development opportunity is for University of Glasgow staff who are involved in planning and delivering engagement events with public audiences. 

It will take place in Clarice Pears Building from 10am - 12noon and attendees can also view the exhibitions in Byres Community Hub before or after the workshop.

 

Refreshments will be provided.
