Sut mae sefydliadau gwahanol, sef corff statudol, cymdeithas tai a cwmni creadigol wedi datblygu perthynas agored ac ymddiriedaeth wrth gydweithio i bosibiliadau’r dyfodol. Byddwn yn rhannu’r hyn rydym wedi’i ddysgu hyd yma am feithrin perthynas rhwng y tri partner, gan gynnwys ein proses a creu cytundeb cydweithredol am y ffyrdd o weithio.

How have a statutory body, social housing and creative organisations developed a relationship of trust and openness while collaborating on being open to future possibilities? We’ll share what we’ve learnt so far about relationship building between the three partners, including our process, creating a collaborative agreement about the ways of working.

In addition to my artistic practice, I have more than 30 years’ experience as a professional facilitator as one of the leading innovators in the development of participatory policy and practice in the UK.

From the age of 24, this practice has ranged from facilitating events to running long term conflict resolution programmes,  founding four charities/not for profit organisations,  being an advisor to UK government and the devolved administrations, and developing innovative capacity building programmes.  At the heart of all my work is a commitment to sustainable development and the activation of 'whole system' solutions through the indepth engagement of as wide a range of perspectives, people, cultures and starting point as possible.

A good introduction to my thinking behind all of this is my chapter in Involve’s Post Party Politics pamphlet: The Art of Facilitation and Mainstreaming Change (see pages 67 - 75).

Although I stopped taking major facilitation and consultancy commissions in 2012, I still provide mentoring, consultancy, analysis, advice and small-scale facilitation services on a case-by-case basis. Please get in touch if you are interested in one of these services: I will refer you to  colleagues who are still providing professional facilitation services if I am unable to help.

I am also currently on the Board of the Anthropocene Alliance, a UK-US collaboration that supports individuals and communities harmed by environmental abuse and climate change.
