HOSTING AND FACILITATING VIRTUAL CONVERSATIONS 4 CHANGE TO EXPLORE LEARNINGS AND ISSUES EMERGING FROM THE PANDEMIC
ONLINE
The first C4C was first convened in April 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. It bought together a group of individuals from different countries to share personal experiences and stories, reflect on the situation in real time and imagine visions for our future. Since this time we have been hosting weekly virtual C4C. As a type of action learning, these spaces draw on people’s experiences, practice and ideas. They generate reflection on the self, the situation and the social. C4C draw on a range of participatory and creative methods, they are captured in real time and offer insight and evidence into the issues being discussed.
