Our new website is available now

This is a new project that combines work done in codesign, civic assemblies and community hope by @acuity.design. It starts with the hard stuff - the loss of trust, regrets and broken promises.

It is a start. It is about connection and hope.

A survey for organisations who feel they have lost the trust and hope of their customers/users/citizens. This is the tricky opening part of the work on rebuilding connections.

Trust is reciprocated - does the organisation care what people think anyway?

The Three Gatherings method is based on extensive work in facilitation of tricky problems gatherlightaction.com/three-gather... It is rooted in the idea that people, not technologies, find actionable hopeful futures.

Human presence not artificial intelligence

You can’t find meaningful connection or hope in #AI. Bring with people, you can.

Making things so as to see if they make sense.

Three public meetings to face resentments, use deliberation and then imagine hopeful futures.

Using the power of people together rather than some AI to find trust and hope.

Asking to help and asking for help.

The core ideas of Gather Light Action are being present together and using light in different ways to explore past regrets, present ideas and future hopes.

Three Gatherings with people.

There is always a risk too: fire can hurt. We need to recognise and respect that possibility.
