Annie, and all,
I am also planning to go and would also like to travel up and back in the same day. So lift share from Devon would be great.
Carl - what are the planned timings for the day?

>> Hello All
>>
>> This message has 3 functions (they are the headings in bold).
>>
>> *Update on developments regarding the day*.
>>
>> Back in 2006 I sent out a set of questions, to which a number of
>> people responded (many thanks to them). I had asked for responses
>> before Christmas (in case there was a need to book an outside speaker).
>>
>> Since then I have looked at the responses and summarised them. I have

>> discussed the material and the practical organisation of the day in a
>> WMids Group Meeting.
>>
>> The upshot is that there was not a clear majority in favour of an
>> outside speaker but that there was a view that there should be at
>> least one speaker to get us started.
>>
>> All this led us to the conclusion that we would suggest that members
>> of the network provide an introduction to this day.
>>
>> We will be sending out flyers describing a "Community Psychology
>> Practice Development Day", which people can use to help their
>> workplaces understand the relevance of the event.
>>
>> As mentioned before, the cost will be about £20.
>>
>> If people can give us an idea of their intention to come or otherwise,
>> that would be very helpful (so far, Gareth and Annie lead the way).
>> These responses may help us to reduce the cost.

>> *Reminder to anybody who has been wanting to come but has forgotten to
>> put it in their diary. *
>>
>> Get your finger out.
>>
>> *Prompt to the list to do some pre-debate to lead us in to the event.*
>>
>> * *
>>
>> In order to arrive on the day with the best chance possible of
>> achieving something worthwhile a number of people suggested starting
>> off debate in advance. There was also support for some structure to
>> the day.
>>
>> Here is some information to get us started.
>>
>> Some important themes emerged from the material people sent in, I
>> mention a couple of them here:
>>
>> · for some people there is a belief that war and torture can be
>> understood separately, while for others they are part of the same
>> thing "globalisation". This was reflected in a question raised by Mark
>> Burton, "how do we conceptualise the broad structuring of
>> oppression?". Understanding our answers to this question will help us
>> understand the kinds of practical outputs we want to come up with at
>> the end of such a day.
>>
>> · there is a related question for some of us of how these issues
>> relate to our work and, consequently, in what capacity we would be
>> attending the day? Psychologist or citizen?
>>
>> Mark had also mentioned a possible approach to the structure of the
>> day in one of his emails. I asked him to describe it, which he did.
>>
>> Here it is:
>>
>> "I didn't have a specific model in mind but thought that as people will
>>
>> be together it would be worth actually trying to get a product from their
>>
>> presence and involvement. So a structure might involve an introductory
>>
>> presentation that had the structure of presenting key issues, and then
>>
>> groups would work to fill in a template producing a consensus statement
>>
>> that could then be circulated around the network and possibly agreed or
>>
>> published.
>>
>> So if for example the overall topic was:
>>
>> "Alternatives to neo-liberalisation"
>>
>> A talk could briefly sketch out what neo-liberal formulae and policies
>>
>> look like, and 5 key points of criticism.
>>
>> Then the group could work through the following:
>>
>> 1) How is neo-liberalisation impacting on the following:
>>
>> -vulnerable people in UK and abroad
>>
>> - communities in UK and abroad
>>
>> - health and welfare systems
>>
>> 2) What are the current trends, most worrying developments, in these
>>
>> areas?
>>
>> 3) What resistance is there to this?
>>
>> - what are its strengths and weaknesses
>>
>> 4) How might community and other critical psychologists work on this?
>>
>> - within psychology
>>
>> - in interdisciplinary contexts
>>
>> - as citizens
>>
>> This isn't meant to prescribe what it would look like but give a kind of
>>
>> worked example.
>>
>> I think the Work Tables could simply work through these - and it would
>>
>> Be worth having separate topics on different tables, probably relating to
>>
>> some kind of general scene setting. they could probably function as
>>
>> leaderless groups,, but it might be worth having a couple of floaters
>>
>> who could help get groups unstuck, watch time, etc.
>>
>> I've used something like this in other areas and it gets a lot of
>>
>> valuable material from what might otherwise just be a fell-good (or
>> probably feel
>>
>> awful!) day."

>> Cheers
