Going on Safari – in Bristol?

Tomorrow I am going to the Paintworks in Bristol for the Social Age Safari which is being run by Sea Salt Learning. It’s a 3 day event with people coming from around the globe. There will be loads of opportunities to build networks and to learn more about learning in the social age. Julian Stodd worked with my team last year, running a workshop for us which inspired new thinking for the team about the ways in which we work, and the focus for our work going forwards.

Since that workshop, we have continued to connect with Julian and his team, finding a lot of inspiration in the work that he is developing.

I will write more about the Safari over the next few days. Already, we have connections to other attendees though LinkedIn, Twitter and a new platform for me, Slack. Throughout the event there will be loads of creative processes, a daily newspaper, and I will be blogging about the process here.

Three of us from the team will be there – looking for connections, looking for techniques and methods to incorporate into our work, and also the opportunity to share our work with others.

This is very timely as I was talking last week about the desire to form a network of like-minded organisations across the globe to share and develop ideas with. Hopefully we can start to build that network later this week.
