2 hour participatory online workshop
New ways of organizing are on the rise. Networks, communities and movements are becoming increasingly common as ways to organize in a highly distributed, agile and responsive manner. Networks have many advantages, and they are also very complex. Starting one is easy - but growing and sustaining one is hard work!
Are you a membership organization, and looking for ways to involve your members more? Are you an emergent movement, looking to create your first elements of "structure"? Are you a volunteer-run community, looking for ways to create commitment to the project? Are you trying to organize yourself to get funding?
This workshop will provide you with starting points and ideas on how to address some typical challenges that most networks face.

A very lean and excellent experience of a virtual participatory workshop.
The workshop offered an inspiring setting to dive deeper into the elements of network governance - and at the same time it was an important reminder about the basics. The experienced facilitation made the interactive online format a great experience.
