Shifting Paradigms in the Leeds Way

An event for leaders from the Voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Leeds

Like most big cities Leeds has a certain way of working, informed by history and power. It has a ‘dominant paradigm’.

For many this way of working is just fine. And they work (consciously or not) to maintain it.

For others it leaves them frustrated, excluded and discriminated against.

These people are usually working in a different paradigm. They are trying (consciously or not) to establish new paradigms.

Some of us are working to reinforce existing working patterns, while some of us are developing new patterns of working.

In this free workshop session we will bring together a group of leaders from the ‘third sector’ to explore a way of thinking about how we work and what might be possible in our own work around developing a new paradigm in Leeds.

So, whether you are working to improve and strengthen the existing paradigm or to create a new one – then please do join us at a central Leeds venue to be confirmed depending on numbers interested in attending. Particpants will be invited to contonue the conversation over lunch
