Timely methods for novel times! We need different times, but do we have the methods to unfold them? Human life and organization need to be fundamentally transformed to support more inclusive and sustainable worlds. This requires attention to a key foundation of shared life and agency: time and temporality. While rational, instrumental, and typically short-term agency is a taken-for-granted structure in late modern society, this has impeded an understanding of the complexity of ecosystems, of social change and of the inter-relations between individuals, people and their worlds. Changing temporal habits and orientations requires experimentation, reflection, collaboration, and methods for researching the complexity of time with and across collectives. Research on time and temporality abounds across a range of disciplines and sites. Alongside this thematic interest, is an interest in how we go about this research, with adaptations of traditional methods such as time use studies, mapping exercises and new approaches such as artistic research. The particular focus for this event is to bring together those interested in working with time in groups and communities, and explore processes and methods to collectively understand the pressures and possibilities of time. We invite you to join the Timely Methods for Novel Times workshop that will explore approaches to discussing, communicating and questioning time with others and ask the question ‘we need different times, but do we have the methods to unfold them?’ We invite you to join us to ask more questions and offer provocations. These could be along the lines of: How can we provide opportunities for groups, communities and individuals to reflect on their experiences of time, and the experiences of those around them? In a context of the climate crisis, what ways do we have to engage with human and non-human times? How do we initiate conversations that go beyond clock-time and worries of speed-up to talk about the complexities of everyday time? How can we create thicker relations with what is around us and go into deep nows? How do we engage in and with the complex networks of life in a world whose institutions work on the basis of linearity and efficiency? How do we bring these times into practice? How do we mediate across and with different pasts, presents and futures? This workshop will provide an opportunity for attendees to share their approaches, raise thorny problems, learn about cutting edge techniques, and connect with others interested in researching and/or practicing alternative orientations to time. All approaches to these questions are welcome! Workshop details Timely Methods for Novel Times will take place on Friday February 11, 2022 at 10.00am - 13.30pm Central European Time.

Hi all, I have been working with a fantastic group of global patient advocates on cardiovascular health and they have an event on Monday 22 November 2021 from 15.00 - 17.00 CET. Unfortunately I have a date clash that I can't get out of so I am looking for someone who can facilitate their event. A warm, inclusive and empathetic style needed to draw out the discussions and build a sense of community online. Contact me for more details. Thanks in advance.

Happy Friday! I’m finally getting around to playing with Skittish, a new platform for hosting online events. Should be there for the next hour or so in case you want to join me: https://live.skittish.com/event/tgif20211029 Cheers, Tim

Hello f4c community, Would any trainers- employee training, corporate training, sales training, any people training- or facilitators that work with trainers be willing to hop on a short call so I could pick your brain? We're recently in market with VoiceVoice, our new video platform for people training and community engagement without the need for a live trainer or host. It's showing early signs of traction within the training market but I'd love to get more feedback from more trainers on what we've built and how the training segment perceives the unique value proposition (scale your training efforts + host more training sessions across time zones and geographic regions without needing to hire more trainers). Let me know if anyone would be up to chat for 15-30 minutes and/or could you connect me with trainers you know. My email is julian@.... Many thanks in advance! -Julian Martinez Co-Founder @ VoiceVoice LinkedIn

Greetings, Quick note to let you all know that the Online Facilitation Unconference (OFU) will take place October 22–24 (at the tail end of IAF’s Facilitation Week). Tickets went on sale last night: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/caceinstitute/582516 When we asked past attendees earlier this summer, there was a lot of interest in all things hybrid. Hopefully, we’ll see plenty of hands-on exploration in that area. Should be fun! Hope to see you there! Cheers, Tim

Hello everyone, I am a Switzerland-based Certified Professional Facilitator who is in the midst of a PhD (Erasmus University, The Netherlands) that ultimately connects organizational learning (OL) and facilitation. I have written here before asking about published research into this topic for my literature review and you kindly shared some great resources on this site. Now, in addition to my facilitation work, I am working on my first PhD article which examines organizational learning practices in international NGOs/non-profits working on sustainable development issues (broadly speaking). I am trying to get a wide range of responses from organizations in different parts of the world. This is for the first of four academic articles, the third article is on the support that facilitators can provide to these organizations in their OL work. For data collection, I have launched an online survey that takes 10-15 minutes and would be happy to share it, with the cover note, to anyone here who has clients that fit this description (or if you are an internal facilitator in one of these). It is for both staff and Executive/Advisory Board members of these organizations. So if you are a Board member, I would be happy to hear from you too! If you would like to have a link to the survey to fill in or to share with organizations that you know, I would really appreciate that and be happy to send it. Those that piloted the survey said the found it interesting and short (all multiple choice and 3 short open answers). You can contact me here, or on my email: Gillian@... and I can send you the information or answer any questions. I don't have an extensive network of non-profits n North America and Canada, so any help would be much appreciated (and all other parts of the world most welcome!) with kind regards, Gillian Martin Mehers Bright Green Learning @ Atadore SARL

...and then contacts you with job / consulting opportunities? I love the work, don't love the search / networking. Thanks! Ann __________________ Ann Hendrix-Jenkins Phone/Whatsapp: +972 55 975 7654 Based in Jerusalem, Time zone: UTC+3

Hi Guys! I know a few of us are interested in these dialogues! Check it out! In a world that feels increasingly divided and isolating, how do we turn towards the complex, the difficult and the taboo? The Spirit of Canada Dialogue Project (SpoCan) holds a space once a month called ‘Listening Beyond Division’. We explore difficult topics with the aim of wiser dialogue and actions in Canada. We are curious about what breaks our hearts and what breaks us open to healing and to expanded possibilities as a complex nation of lands and peoples. This month Richard Schultz, Kara Stonehouse, Pamela Schreiner and Diana-Claire Douglas are hosting an exploration of Dominance as a broad pattern behind so many divisive conversations about race, vaccines, politics and personal relationships. Date: September 9th, 2021 (Join us the second Thursday of each month) Time: 3:00 - 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time Please Register: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/listening-beyond-division-dominance-tickets-167794037483 We look forward to exploring with you in our growing community of brave souls ready to lean into difficult topics with love to find more clarity and peace in our world.

We are doing some basic awareness level work with some staff, but due to the restrictions in our area we have to do this work online. Do to budget restrictions we have only two sessions and staff can select which date they would like to participate. 103 staff will participate in total, but we do not know how many will choose to be on each day. We would like to do some common face-to-face activities like the Privilege Walk (take a step forward if...) and are looking for some tools to do this with. I came across this, which works pretty well, except that the no answers get a red mark and the work "incorrect". Here are the types of tools I'm thinking of...and they need to be a) simple, b) easy for tech novices, c) not expensive, d) can manage 50+ people without difficulty, and e) not cumbersome when used in combination with Zoom (like multiple browser windows/tabs). - "leaderboard" type display that can be morphed to show more or less privilege - matrix display where information can be clustered under topics - marked by the participants - continuum display where people can adjust their marker in response to new questions (they need to be able to track their marker amongst 50+ people I know that Mural and the Zoom whiteboard can be used for some of these, but I am concerned about the numbers of participants managing their markers in those kinds of displays. I am very open to other ideas as well...what have you done to help large groups increase their awareness of privilege in online activities? Thanks!!
