Curious Minds

Action Learning 2011

Last week was the final Action Learning meeting for a group of Creative Agents who have been meeting regularly since January this year.

We were all sad to see the end of what's been a very useful and fun set of meetings.

Seven Agents, from both Merseyside and Lancashire met once every 6-8 weeks facilitated by Joan Forshaw and Tina Taylor from Curious Minds. They brought issues and challenges, both personal and professional, to be worked on. Through a process of presentation, questioning and action planning, new ways of working were found. There were eureka moments, moments of acceptance, moments of reflection, but most of all there was lots of laughter and mutual support.

We carried out an evaluation session at the final meeting and it was clear that participants valued the opportunity to develop positive methods of communication, meeting with colleagues to share common concerns and the feeling that they were really being listened to and supported.

Action Learning is being offered as one of Curious Minds services for schools
