| + | ## Events and a Living Lab | ||
| + | |||
| + | During 2017-18 we ran a series of events, [[events:index|which are detailed here]], together with a Living Lab workshop | ||
| + | |||
| + | Our Way Ahead and Connecting Londoners ran the workshop with about 50 people on November 16 2017 at London Metropolitan University to play through how to develop networked support systems for civil society. | ||
| + | |||
| + | During an hour and a half session we heard about current plans for support systems focussed on a Hub; adopted roles from concerned citizen to network leader and council officer; reviewed challenges and ideas from a consultant’s report; developed further ideas, and then chose methods and actions to carry them out. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We negotiated how we could support each other with funding, endorsement, and sharing. And we decided who could deliver on the ideas. We then captured our reports of the project ideas on video - and discussed what we had learned from the session. | ||
