Ideas Lab September 2019: a place for inspiration and innovation

We’re delighted to announce that our next Ideas Lab will be taking place in London on 11 September.

It’s a chance for enthusiastic leaders, service managers and innovators to get together with peers from across the Foyer network to spark ideas and co-create solutions to shared problems, with the end goal of increasing the positive impact of their work with young people.

Together, we’ll combine your experience, knowledge and dedication to create an explosion of energy, resulting in a few change-making ideas to take forward and create movement. You’ll get the chance to be brave, maverick, savvy, loving and authentic all in one day!

By reframing a problem as an opportunity for positive action, we discover exciting new solutions.

The Ideas Lab will focus on the key challenges commonly experienced in the network day-to-day, ensuring the thinking, discussions and solutions are in line with real needs.

At the first Ideas Lab in March, our attendees chose to address the question ‘How do you engage the hardest to engage?‘. First, the group reframed the question to uncover new angles, for example, ‘Young people are already engaged, so how do we harness those interests?‘. Then they worked together to find creative solutions and practical approaches to try out in their Foyers.
