HOW TO ENABLE SQUILOMETRE​ APPROACHES IN YOUR AREA

If you are a local authority, funding body or any other kind of organisation you may be wondering how to bring Squilometre methodologies for community animation into your area.

There are two main ways for you to do this:-

1) IN HOUSE TRAINING - we can provide the following half-day workshops for your staff, either via Zoom or face-to-face 

For Local Authorities, Community Builders and Community Development Workers


Animating the Quiet Voice – Building an inclusive methodology and communication techniques to animate the "hard-to-reach"
Move like Water – Asset-mapping and working effectively alongside existing groups and initiatives
Creative Placemaking – Facilitating place-based community-led, creative activity 
ABCD Bespoke Training – just ask

"A perfect amount of information to take in in the time frame. Clear concepts and techniques that we can definitely use in communities, and within our organisation to introduce sociocratic ways of thinking." - East Devon District Council, Housing.

"A very thought provoking session which will undoubtedly help to guide our place based communities approach.  The methodology will help us to seek out and listen to those quiet voices and respond to local community activation, working closely with communities in the creation and support of sustainable physical activity opportunities which meet their wants and needs. - Active Devon

"Hugely valuable being able to practically ‘workshop’ places and adapt the learning based on what gets thrown up. There were a lot of takeaways and thought provoking moments for me personally and great to see the team plotting out what they’re going to do next within communities" -  Hannah Worth, Director, Active Devon

2) SPONSOR THE TRAINING FOR A VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY PLACE CHAMPION IN YOUR AREA
You can sponsor the training for a local resident to be supported through the Animating Community to Celebrate Neighbourhood Heritage course.  Developed in association with National Lottery Heritage Fund this is a 12 month flexible learning package of training, mentoring and observed practice that will embed all of the required skills right into the heart of your community and kick-start a new, ongoing, community-led Squilometre.

(At more than 20 miles distance from Exeter, Devon this is available via a Licence Agreement and distance learning - there's nowhere that a Squilometre can't go!)

For more information about either or both of these options get in touch below.  We're standing by to help!
