Strategy and Planning
Effective tools for strategic thinking and action
Developing strategic plans for effective and inclusive action
This workshop, grounded in Paulo Freire's philosophy of education, gives a unique opportunity for professionals, community groups, businesses, and individuals committed to social justice to engage in a transformative process of strategic thinking and planning.
This workshop is designed to challenge traditional top-down approaches to strategy and planning, which often overlook the voices and experiences of those most impacted by decisions. Instead, it embraces a participatory, dialogical model where all participants are co-creators of knowledge. By placing emphasis on collaboration, critical reflection, and empowerment, this workshop seeks to equip participants with the tools to develop strategies that are not only effective but also socially just and inclusive.
Participants will engage in a series of interactive sessions where they will explore the core principles of Freirean pedagogy, including the importance of dialogue, reflection, and action in the learning process. Through group discussions, case studies, and practical exercises, they will learn how to apply these principles to the strategic planning process in their own contexts. Whether it's a business, a nonprofit organization, or a community initiative, the workshop will provide participants with the skills to develop plans that reflect a commitment to social justice, equity, and collective empowerment.
The workshop also focuses on building a community of practice, where participants can share their experiences, challenges, and successes in a supportive environment. By promoting this sense of community, the workshop encourages ongoing collaboration and mutual learning long after the sessions have ended.
