The Learning Agenda
This is a workshop designed to inspire and rejuvenate. Tamarack wants to revive your hope in the power of engagement and eliminate the "cynic" that has emerged in so many of us.
As practitioners, we are all intensely interested in the "how" of this work. The workshop is designed for hands-on, experiential learning, story-telling, practice and application. Bring your smart phones and computer - you'll do more than follow a hashtag. Try out new technological tools, apply a proven engagement technique, and practice what you're learning as you're learning it.
What You'll Learn
- Cutting edge technologies to make your engagement work easier and more effective
- The latest in interviewing, facilitation and dialogue techniques

How Do We Learn Together?
In addition to hands on learning there will be plenty of time to interact with other learners, faculty and practitioners. Everyone will be assigned to a small group learning lab that will provide you an opportunity to hear each other’s stories and dig deeper into the content.
During your time together you will be invited to help create a powerful and dynamic learning community dedicated to strengthening our individual and collective capacity to connect, engage and mobilize citizens, funders and policy-makers. As a member of this learning community you will gain new insights and be part of shaping new knowledge to move your community towards a deeper commitment to realizing collective impact.
