SUMMARY:Can Public Engagement Change Systems? October 6th - SFU Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:Addressing our toughest challenges—such as climate change\, housing affordability\, inequality or xenophobia—requires broad public will and action.

Facilitated by Centre for Dialogue director Shauna Sylvester\, this interactive conversation will address complex questions\, such as how citizen engagement initiatives can change the systems that affect our most difficult problems. \nLocation: SFU Vancouver – Harbour Centre\, Room 1400-1430 (Segal Centre)\nAdmission: $15+GST Adults | $8+GST Students/Seniors \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Innoweave Impact Accelerator Workshop!
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in enhancing the impact of your organization or collaborative? Are you interested in exploring the different social innovation approaches and tools that are helping other organizations achieve greater impact? \nIf yes\, you should register for the Innoweave Impact Accelerator\, hosted in partnership with BC Healthy Communities. \nWhat is the Innoweave Impact Accelerator? \nSince its launch in 2012\, Innoweave has leveraged social innovation tools to help hundreds of organizations advance their mission and generate greater impact. We have used that experience to develop the Innoweave Impact Accelerator\, a mini-workshop that helps organizations and collaboratives to clarify the impact they are working to achieve. A clear impact focus helps organizations and collaboratives more easily identify which social innovation approaches (such as developing a social enterprise) they can leverage to achieve and accelerate their impact. \nWhat does the Innoweave Impact Accelerator involve? \nThe Impact Accelerator will: \n·         Provide leadership teams and collaboratives an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day activities and think critically about the impact they are trying to achieve through their work. \n·         Guide organizations and collaboratives through activities that will help them translate their aspirational mission into specific achievable impact goals. The session also introduces Theory of Change – a clear and actionable hypothesis of how an organization or collaborative will achieve its intended impact. \n·         Provide participants with the opportunity to engage with and learn from other organizations that have successfully implemented social innovation tools to achieve their impact. \n·         Understand supports available through the Innoweave process\, and highlight opportunities to access coaching funding through Innoweave. \nEvent details\nDeadline: Please register your team by Friday\, October 14th\, 2016\nRegister: Sign up here. Organizations are encouraged to bring a team of 2-3 people to the workshop (e.g. members of their leadership team\, board members and in some cases key stakeholders/advisors). \nWhat happens after attending an Innoweave Impact Accelerator session? \nOrganizations who want to build off their work in the Impact Accelerator and further clarify their impact may apply directly for the next wave of the Impact & Strategic Clarity module – apply here. \nOrganizations that attend the Impact Accelerator will also have the opportunity to register and apply for upcoming introductory webinars and full-day workshops focused on specific Innoweave modules that are designed to accelerate impact. A list of all upcoming webinars and workshops is available here.  Organizations that attend a full-day workshop for a specific module are eligible to apply for Innoweave Implementation Funding in January and July of each year. \nIf you have questions or would like additional information\, please email info@innoweave.ca
