The Connected Lab 2019-20 will take place across 5 sessions between October 2019 and June 2020:

We expect participants to attend all scheduled sessions, as well as participate in self-led supporting activity between sessions. If you are unable to attend any of the dates above, please let us know in your Expression of Interest Form. All sessions will take place in central London venues.
As part of the programme you will also be matched with a ‘buddying’ group with up to four other participants from London-based partnerships. Buddying is an opportunity to connect with each other and discuss key themes, as well as to provide additional peer-support beyond the structured sessions. How you work with your buddies is self-directed, however you will be encouraged to meet your buddies at least once per term and we will always provide space directly before or after Connected Lab sessions for you to connect.
Supporting activity may also include one or more ‘shadowing’ exchanges to share practice, sharing learning at Connected Network meetings or contributing resources to the Powerful Partnerships Library.
