| - | # Our Way Ahead workshop - the Hub game | ||
| - | David Wilcox, Drew Mackie and Matt Scott | ||
| - | |||
| - | Our Way Ahead and Connecting Londoners ran a workshop with about 50 people on November 16 2017 at London Metropolitan University to play through how to develop networked support systems for civil society. | ||
| - | |||
| - | During an hour and a half session we heard about current plans for support systems focussed on a Hub; adopted roles from concerned citizen to network leader and council officer; reviewed challenges and ideas from a consultant’s report; developed further ideas, and then chose methods and actions to carry them out. | ||
| - | |||
| - | We negotiated how we could support each other with funding, endorsement, | ||
| - | |||
| - | We then captured our reports of the project ideas on video - and discussed what we had learned from the session. The next steps will be to develop a community of practice to support each other in taking these and other ideas forward. | ||

| - | ## Background | ||
| - | Over the next few months decisions will be made affecting the support systems for Londoners in local communities and across the capital. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The London Council for Voluntary Services (LVSC), umbrella organisation for 120,000 community groups, networks and charities groups and organisations, | ||
| - | |||
| - | The main solution is a London resource Hub, incorporated as a charitable company based on Greater London Volunteering, | ||
| - | |||
| - | [As reported here](http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | > We want to build accessible digital community platforms, research and map grassroots community activity, to facilitate collaboration, | ||

| - | ## The basis for the workshop | ||
| - | |||
| - | In order to design the workshop, we analysed the report produced by Steve Wyler for LVSC about the Hub: | ||

| - | * [Extracts used to design the game](http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Wyler report is featured on the TWA site as “outlining what a future ' | ||
| - | |||
| - | An advisory group is discussing how these ideas, or others, might shape the development of the Hub and associated systems. David Wilcox and Christine Goodall are members of the advisory group, on behalf of Our Way Ahead, and one aim for the workshop was to provide input to the group. | ||
| - | |||
| - | We felt that rather than an abstract discussion of support systems, we would take the main ideas and recommendations in the report and make them the basis for a simulation. Here’s the main documents and materials. | ||

| - | ## Game report | ||
| - | |||
| - | The instructions for participants said: | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The aim of this workshop is to explore how we can connect, co-operate and collaborate to make London a better place to live and work for everyone. | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The focus is on making use of the resources that we have by building networks and relationships - as well as finding new resources where possible. | ||
| - | |||
| - | "We hope that our ideas will inform development of the new London Hub for London, responsible for developing civil society support systems, and will in any case help us form some new relationships ourselves." | ||
| - | |||
| - | The event started with presentations from Matt Scott and David Wilcox summarising the issues and setting the context. The gaming session started by clearing the chairs to the side of the room so that participants could move freely. | ||
| - | |||
