What we do: Conferences and Events
The Capability Company has designed and delivered major conferences, working
closely with steering groups of local organisations.
Reading Diversity Conference celebrated all aspects of diversity
whilst promoting understanding of inclusion. It included participatory workshops,
national speakers,
art work, specially developed forum theatre and video installation. Participants
said:
- "It was a very thought-provoking way of presenting the ideas
and of enabling us to explore some difficult issues."
- "I thought
the event was fantastic. A great variety of learning opportunities for
everyone."
- "Professional,
friendly, safe, fun, challenging, informing. Everything's been thought
of, multimedia, colourful, modern... I could
go on."
- "I thought you'd created a lovely atmosphere that
felt very positive and truly diverse."
The first National Parish and Community Planning Conference brought
together those involved in community planning with those wanting to understand
more.
It included national speakers, participatory workshops and briefings, a
parish planning market place and exhibitions. Participants said:
- "The best conference I’ve ever been to"
- "An enormous 'thank you' for such a great event - and your
calmness and organisational abilities"
- "Thank you for an outstanding
day."
- "Thought it was an excellent day with a great exchange
of ideas and experiences."
- "It was fantastic."
