Stage 1 - Quiet Voice Methodology - half-day Workshop
Learn about the fundaments of what we mean by Quiet Voice? and how taking a different approach to how we partner and work with our communities creates much improved outcomes for all involved.
The QVM Carry Case
Comprising the three essential components of QVM
It is PLACE BASED – it captures and uses ALL aspects of place. The built and natural environment, inc. skies, waterways, viewpoints/topography. Its heritage and, of course, the people.
It is TRANSACTIONAL – it recognises and understands that ALL relationships are transacted and that we, as community workers, have an important role to play in getting that right.
It is REFLECTIVE – it constantly asks the question WHO IS NOT HERE? What is our role in that? What aren’t we doing and, more importantly, what are we doing that’s wrong?
The QVM Carry Case Tools
Packed inside the QVM Carry Case the training will cover a range of useful Tools
These are not all considered essential and can be chosen to suit your projects. They have been borrowed from a broad base of disciplines including:-
- Sociology
- Adult and organisational learning
- Place-based education
- Placemaking/placekeeping
- Environmental studies
- Landscape archaeology
- Heritage interpretation
- Participatory arts
In other cases, they’ve been developed from evidence-based practice in our street work. You can choose from these tools and find the ones that best suit your practice.
