RECENT OPEN PROJECTS

WE AND WHITE SUPREMACY


Practitioners' Learning Lab

It is imperative for change agents to understand how white supremacy impacts our work. In this workshop we’ll engage in a deep examination of white racial conditioning. Over five sessions, we’ll complete Layla Saad’s workbook, which began as a 28-day Instagram challenge and became a free pdf workbook downloaded by more than 100,000 people.
This Learning Lab is an invitation for white people who are committed to becoming better allies by exploring our blind spots with compassionate colleagues. We’ll focus on white supremacy at an individual level and explore how to decolonize private and public spaces and change systems from the inside out: one person, one family, one community or organization at a time. This conversation will be jointly facilitated by Berlin-based social innovator Karolina Iwa and GLEN program director Krista Bremer.

QUANTUM SYMPOSIUM


Online Facilitation

QSym was the first large online event PicoQuant organised. They care for a professional, community oriented event, that would allow participants to experience at least a bit of the serendipity we all love so much in in-person meetings. There was little space for error. We put extra care in preparation, hackatons, general rehearsals and onboarding of team & speakers.
In this case we created a complete virtual environment including:
- researching and comparing hosting platforms
- coding a dedicated conference app, with integrated live sessions, networking, registration,
- setting-up a platform for Poster Session, allowing participants to move freely between tables, see & hear each other, view presented Poster in great resolution & contribute to a collaborative whiteboard
- hosting interactive breaks
- offering unforgettable entertainment programme

And gush, was it worth it! At some point we were even doing magic tricks with participants joining us on stage. To quote one of the participants:

"A great "thank you" to all speakers, attendees but especially the organisation team. I am impressed that this virtual meeting went so smoothly."

STRUKTUR WANDEL DICH - STRUKTUR, WIR WANDELN DICH!


Generative Scribing

Conference held in Lausatia, Germany, for more social justice in transformation processes. The event was initiated by a coalition of communal gender equality officers and explored the intersectionality between gender, social justice, system transformation.

LEADING AS SACRED PRACTICE


Transformative Events

Since 2016, a network of organizational pioneers has been gathering to address the sacred in leadership. We created LASP as a place to support each other as we shed conventions and embrace new forms. We were aware that there was not yet a shared language for what we felt and were compelled to explore with regard to Leading as Sacred Practice. We were also committed to inquiry, not ideology. Over the next four years, our intention resulted in three large gatherings in Germany and the United States. In community, we learned much about what brings us closer to the sacred in leadership.​
