Thank you @LaskaNenova & the @BGBEACTIVE team! Not only was it a great forum on all things “creative bureaucracy” in Bulgaria, but also what a feat to pull this off just before the Christmas break 👏🏼

We once again thank @CreatBureauFest crew and especially @RobynBennett for the support in organizing this event.

Wales is eliminating profit from their children's care system - because they have listened to children and 'it's the right thing to do'.
This is a big and horizon shifting transformation for care...

We’re looking for a Global Director of Storytelling and Communications - someone who understands the role that stories play in shifting systems.

This person can be based anywhere in the world.

A super exciting opportunity (even if I say so myself…!) https://t.co/BZzgcGoBEb

[Phoebe Tickell @PhoebeTickell]

Incredibly, unbelievably excited that @moral_imagining is launching an Imagination Activism programme today with @CamdenCouncil. We are training council officers in #Camden in the skills of collective imagination and horizontal leadership to become agents of change of Camden.

[Jon Alexander @jonjalex]

This is the central dynamic of our times, and it must be broken

Here's how it works, and how to break it 🧵

[Thea Snow @theasnow]

Interesting article highlighting the role that trusting relationships play in supporting effective policy implementation. Building trust requires (1) vulnerability (2) authenticity (3) co-learning (4) empathy (5) bi-directional communication HT @Geekybeck https://t.co/5nkTgoOIv1

“There’s a need to improve urban equity, but there’s a gap in our tools & shared knowledge for doing so. Our new Accelerating City Equity Project aims to change that”

Vital work (& great workshop!) from @gsebag @annaabenhaim @IS_UrbanHealth

[TJ Maguire @tjhfx]

Fantastic conversations about equity referring to this diagram. How are you addressing equity in your work? @IS_UrbanHealth #placemakingweekeurope
