In October, the Movement Strategy Process will enter the phase of defining the scope for each of the nine Thematic Areas. The nine Working Groups will map the present situation of their respective area, including the obstacles and opportunities, as well as changes needed for the movement to advance in our Strategic Direction. They will identify possible strategies for making these changes and develop concrete recommendations for the movement on how to ratify and implement them.
 * Abstract:

A member of the Movement Strategy Core team will provide interested participants with an update of the process, present ways to contribute and engage, and invite Working Group members to also address the audience and report back from the work these groups are doing.

Aside from this short presentation, we would like to use the opportunity to consult with participants on topics and questions that will have surfaced in October. We will invite participants to help co-create the next steps and questions of the process, and collect people’s insights and needs as we move forward.

(As we are currently building the process step by step and as it will heavily depend on the progress the Working Groups will have made, we are not able to provide specific details at the is point in time (22 August). I am happy to update and adjust the application in the coming weeks and months and hope you consider our application even though it’s still a bit vague. The Core Team would be highly interested to engage with the event’s participants. If you see any other options for us to contribute, please reach out to me. Aside from sending a member of the Core Team, we can also imagine bringing some members of different Working Groups to the event, but it is still to early to determine the candidates.)
