A growing evidence base shows the importance of social relationships, trust & collective intelligence for enabling change. @sam__rye describes "relational infrastructure", the web of human relationships & ways of being that enable us to work together & make change possible. Three ways to build it: 1) Give it more priority - e.g., create time in the initiative to step out of “delivery” & take people away for connection time in a different space to support this 2) Invest in skills in relational approaches – & seek to create space & mandate for people to practice these skills 3) See relationships as outcomes in their own right as they create the conditions for solutions to emerge networkweaver.com/on-relatio… Thank you @juneholley.

"We’re constantly trying to render ideas of relationships into more mechanical, objective, logical language, but this work exists in the heart; it’s visceral, it’s felt. How do we honour this kind of wisdom whilst making progress on a relational agenda?

While volunteering is incredibly important & of immense civic value-it’s important 2 emphasise that there’s a difference between neighbour 2 neighbour civic action & #volunteering. Hence the key isn’t volunteering alone, it’s community building -of which volunteering is a subset.
