Fundraising in Partnership aims to build the Permaculture movement’s funding capacity and readiness through collaboration.  During this presentation we will go into the process of how an organisation can determine whether they are ready to participate in a joint project and what they can do to increase their readiness.

This presentation is designed specifically for Networks, Organizations, Associations and community groups who are funding ready and are looking to set up joint projects, and apply for funding together to fund those projects.The Funding Circle is a circle within the International Permaculture CoLab which provides expert fundraising services to the Permaculture movement.

TaTa is a simple yet profound gifting process, evolved from Re-evaluation Counseling.The gift is attention and the permission to explore and develop our thinking by speaking it out. Using an agreed amount of time one person gets to think aloud while another gives them their full, freely given attention, without interrupting, agreeing, disagreeing or directing their thinking. This gives the thinker permission to listen to themselves and discover what they actually think.Then the roles are reversed, creating an equal exchange of attention. Yes, a real thinking democracy!

TaTa takes the powerful listening principles of Re-evaluation Counseling and makes them simpler and more accessible, with a particular focus on providing people in remote and/or otherwise marginalized communities with practical tools they can use to support each other to clarify our thinking.

After this session you will know how to lift up another person’s thinking, by giving them good attention. By this means we can lift up anyone’s thinking, anytime. Better thinking leads to better actions.
