Reflecting on a real rollercoaster few days at #CTRLshift2018 - both galvanising and challenging for me personally… 1/8

…learning what it means to hold space for voices and perspectives that might otherwise not be heard. Something we all need to be alert to and be practising more #CTRLshift2018 #civilsocietyfutures 2/8

…grateful for the facilitation team, for embracing being at the edge while @TheEdgeWigan and for the rich learnings and conversations. Working with emergence is tough @NareshGG @andygoldring @indraadnan @creativeconnec @REconomyCentre @sharedfuturecic #CTRLshift2018 3/8

…for the original invitation into this from @markwalton - trusted relationships help people to embrace the unknown
#CTRLshift2018 4/8

..always a pleasure to make new connections and for the solidarity felt from both strangers and familiar faces #CTRLshift2018 5/8

…learning from @WiganCouncil about what it means to shift the power balance back to people - a great example of key #civilsocietyfutures insights in practise #CTRLshift2018 6/8

…but remembering that shifting control and power is easier said than done. #CTRLshift2018 #civilsocietyfutures 7/8

…and to Wigan for helping me get out of my bubble, particularly for the chat with Pam who works at the local wire mesh factory housed in relic of the past, a reminder of how radically things change #CTRLshift2018 8/8
