To accompany the School for Change Agent sessions on FutureLearn, we ran three live sessions for School, where we spent time looking at some of the topics that we raise in School. The live sessions were presented by both Helen Bevan and Kathryn Perera.

Session 1 : Tuesday 18 May at 3pm

Content included:

  • An introduction to the core principles that the School for Change Agents is based on: Change starts with me
  • The change agent of the future (being [behaviours; spheres of influence], seeing [understanding the nature of power], doing [into action])
  • Things we can do as agents of change – methods, approaches, tactics
  • Understanding levers of agency and power available to us
  • We cannot be change agents on our own –  individual AND collective agency

Our live sessions will be run on Zoom, where will be using a number of interactive tools as part of the session
