Working on Befriending Fear with 30 Imagination Activists in Brussels
30 Innovators in the System Shakers community went through a rapid process to take courageous action on a mission or challenge
Shortly after the keynote presentation in The Egg, Brussels, Phoebe led 30 VIP guests, who had won a place in the workshop through a social innovation prize, through a 90 minute workshop on Imagination Activism.
The workshop is a fast sprint through some of the core tools of being an Imagination Activist. Participants left having expanded their sense of what is possible, with new perspectives on their work and projects, and learning a core exercise from the Moral Imagination toolkit, involving meeting and connecting with ancestors, future generations and nature to broaden perspectives on a central mission or challenge.
It’s done at a rapid pace so that people can make some real progress with a real life project they are working on, or wish they would be working on, but haven’t yet found the time or space to act on courageously.
The group worked on their cynicism and their beliefs that things cannot get better. It’s amazing the progress achieved in just 90 minutes.
It’s been a wonderful time in Brussels, meeting Sociale Innovatie Fabriek and the inspiring changemakers making change for a better society throughout Belgium and before. Hope to be back again in the future!
