Deep Collaboration
An introduction to CFI's Deep Collaboration content and practice to improve your awareness and skills in leading groups and initiatives where First Nations and Other Australians are leading change together.
Whether its big picture systems change at a national level, or working locally to improve ways to address inequities, the skills and awareness of Deep Collaboration can help in navigating between First Nations and other Australians.
We have seen an increased understanding and appreciation of using symbols of recognition for First Nations in Australia. We have also witnessed an increase in demand to address important tangible outcomes from the business, philanthropy, community and government sectors. In addition to this context, Australia is currently developing State-wide Treaties and learning into our post-referendum context. Now is a good time to improve your skills and awareness to work more effectively across culture and power in the collaboration space between First Nations and other Australians.
The Deep Collaboration Fundamentals is a blended online learning program aiming to build foundational skills and awareness in the practice of Deep Collaboration.
This 4 x half-day workshop is designed for practitioners and leaders to increase their awareness and understanding of the patterns of behaviour and dynamics of power that show up in the collaboration space.
Whether you are a facilitator, leader for an initiative or part of a team that works with First Nations and other Australians, this online workshop series can improve your awareness and increase your understanding to make you more effective in leading change together.
