Do you believe in the power of networks to create change?
If so, join us for Collective Mind’s Virtual Summer Camp, a virtual, interactive training for and about networks!
2-Week Virtual Summer Camp: July 13-24, 2020.
The last few months have been quite a ride. Now, more than ever, we are reminded of the importance of connection and collaboration. Let’s take some time to step away, learn, and reflect on how to move forward and continue to leverage the power of networks.
Join Collective Mind’s Virtual Summer Camp as a space for:
a) learning about how to be a better network manager,
b) strategizing about how your network can generate greater impact, and
c) connecting with colleagues from other networks with comparable challenges.
Why you should join us…
Virtual Summer Camp is designed to give those who want to do more with and for their networks a space in which to both better understand networks and gain new insights and tools for network management.
Campers will expand knowledge, learn new tools and methods, strategize and problem solve, and build new relationships.
Who will be there…
Virtual Summer Camp welcomes all those who lead, manage, fund, and support networks – or are starting a network or networked approach. The training is designed to accommodate leaders and professionals at all levels. By attending, campers become part of the global Collective Mind community of network leaders and managers.
What we’ll achieve together…
Like any good summer camp, ours will offer a mix of engaging learning activities: from video lessons to expert webinars, open plenary discussions, and breakout sessions. Campers can also opt into small peer support groups (learning circles) for enhanced learning and networking.
Activities will focus on the two topics of networks and network management. Over the course of the two weeks, campers will gain:
Frameworks and approaches for understanding networks including greater clarity around their network’s challenges and means to address those.
Ideas, strategies, and tools for how to orient their network around shared purpose, build structures and processes for achieving that, and measure effectiveness and impact.
A community of peers for ongoing support and practical advice for leading and managing their network.
With open access to all camp activities, campers will “choose their own adventure” by joining the activities that are most important to them. Participation will be supported by a “trail guide” of instructions, guidance, and exercises for individual reflection, goal setting, and action planning.
The basics…
Where: Online via Zoom plus offline links to videos, readings, and reflection and planning exercises
When: Monday, July 13 to Friday, July 24, on-demand webinars and periodic live sessions
Sessions will run Monday to Friday. To accommodate campers around the world, we will offer live sessions at various times of day (e.g. early morning and late afternoon EST) and provide recordings.
