Join GEM and Beloved Adonai to develop an understanding of how to engage with communities effectively and create sustainable partnerships.

This session will aim to guide participants to develop an understanding of how to engage with communities effectively, create sustainable partnerships with local stakeholders, navigate bespoke funding opportunities, and explore different co-curative models.

What will be covered:

• Vision, Mission, and Values – What are the foundational reasons for exploring co-curation? Help to clarify your vision and mission for co-curation to guide decisions and build coherence throughout the project.
• Reflection – Understand how having a clear vision and set values allows for consistent reflection on the project’s goals and process, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned.
• Breaking Down the Two Key Terms – Gain a more in-depth understanding of Co-curation & Co-design, the principles that underpin them and come away with models to embed within your practice.
• Case Studies – Find out about practical examples in action.
• Navigating Funding – How you work with your community to successfully fundraise.
• Breakout room discussions.

The workshop will be across 2 hours and delivered by Beloved Adonai.
