Facilitating Social Intelligence
An OGUNTE Learning Lounge session - for Women AND men!

16th July 2008. 6:00pm – 8:30pm - BOOK NOW http://socialintelligence.eventbrite.com/

An Interactive Workshop in Social Awareness and Social Facility 

Recently, popular science writer Daniel Goleman has drawn on social neuroscience research to propose that social intelligence is made up of Social Awareness (including empathy, attunement, empathic accuracy, and social cognition) and Social Facility (including synchrony, self-presentation, influence, and concern).

How can we best produce a healthy and intelligent community ? Are women better at facilitating social intelligence? Is it a gender neutral issue? (And does it matter…). How do you from learn and collaborate the best with your stakeholders?
The audience will have the opportunity to listen to practitionners’ short interventions and actively take part in experience-based discussions and challenges.

Limited  places, BOOK NOW on http://socialintelligence.eventbrite.com

About Ruth Churchill Dower: Video Weblink from Sheffield :

TOPIC : Motivating confident, individual thinkers through creative learning environments.
Ruth will reference the Earlyarts network and the mass of female professionals that it supports in order to take their practice on to the next level, giving them the creativity and resilience to cope in the workplace which is often within very regimented environments with male dominated leadership and management structures – even in early learning!

‘Healthy societies are built around people who can imagine, think creatively, accept and understand differences by making sense of themselves in the world, make lateral as well as linear connections, bring creative solutions to problems, develop ideas and skills, and are able to express themselves competently and confidently.’
In : Searching for Meaning, by Ruth Churchill Dower and Canterbury Nursery School and Centre for Children and Families, Bradford.

Ruth Churchill Dower is the Director of Isaacs UK, a creative learning consultancy with a remit to pioneer learning networks across the cultural and educational communities. Ruth has published work on the impacts of arts and culture on learning processes, shared learning networks, professional development, international research and evaluation.
