Big Way Of Life

Cast your minds way back to the conference in January and you will recall a very nice man with a box of puppets and all sorts of weird and wonderful ideas. That would be Phill Burton of Dynamix. So impressed were you (we already knew they were great!) that we've asked Dynamix to provide some follow up workshops for projects. We have 7 workshops in total to give away, so you will need to pair up. Caerphilly and Newport have already teamed up for the first one during the summer, which was very successful. So, roll up, roll up, if you would like a (free!) workshop with Dynamix, tailored to your project. Get in touch with your case manager if you would like to take this up and they will help arrange it.

More about Dynamix...

"To create a fairer society by developing people's skills for Participation, Inclusion, Co-operation, Play and Enterprise. It will achieve this by providing creative training, consultation, facilitation and publications that help people to explore serious issues in a fun way".

Dynamix is a creative training co-operative based in Swansea, who work towards increasing people's involvement in all areas important to them.

Set up in 1989, Dynamix has consulted with the under 5s through to pensioners, ensuring that their views get represented accurately and that they have a great time whilst being consulted. Their 20 year track record running inclusive consultation has provided them with a wide range of participation methods that they can deliver as training workshops and courses, based on the publications 'Participation: Spice it up'; 'Young Spice' (for consulting the under 11s); and 'Children's Rights: Spice 'em up!'

They work across the UK and beyond, delivering work to community organisations, charities, youth groups, children and their families, schools, children and young people's partnerships, councils, the Welsh Assembly Government and many more.
