Open Space: Placing the power in the hands of our communities (Disrupt), Peterborough
Jul 10, 2023

Slung Low, Jumped Up Theatre and a number of other partners have co-authored a toolkit to help artists, organisations and communities disrupt and unpack the power dynamics of the cultural sector when working with communities.

Centring young people in the decision-making about work with young people works. It supports them to grow, connect and dig deep. It revitalises organisations, structures and processes. It generates greater success, sustainability and legacy.

It can be scary handing over power.  The outcomes are uncertain, in a world with plenty of uncertainty already.  It tests the depth of our expertise, our relationships with funders and stakeholders, and the authenticity of our beliefs.

Come to this Open Space event and dive into a pool of shared solutions, challenges and insights.

This event is inspired by DISRUPT toolkit chapters ‘On the Shoulders of others’ and ‘Putting the community and the heart of project governance’ (Jumped Up Theatre) and ‘We need to change how the arts are governed’ (Slung Low).
