Join us in Birmingham for a day of building connections across the Oak partnership and learning together!  

You will: 

  • Get to know people across the Oak partnership, with a shared commitment to solidarity in social change 
  • Learn key insights emerging from the programme so far 
  • Hear how the principles of Psychologically Informed Environments can help you take into account the needs of people you’re working with in your campaigns 
  • Experiment with creative approaches to facilitating conversations for learning and change 

A key part of our Solidarity for Social Change programme, our in-person days are lively, creative events designed to get you talking, learning and building collaborative connections across the partnership. 

We strongly encourage you to come along if you’re signed up for one of our Inquiry Groups, but anyone working for an Oak-funded organisation is welcome to join us. 

We can help fund travel and accommodation if needed. Get in touch to find out more.   

This all day, in-person event is for organisations funded by the Oak Foundation. You can sign up to this event or to the whole programme. If you have any questions, please get in touch by emailing shaan.sangha@smk.org.uk.
