Making the invisible, visible: the role of power in our work
Making the invisible, visible: the role of power in our work
Overview
We cannot work with lived experience or participatory methods without interrogating power.
This workshop delves into different models and frameworks of power and explores how we can shift our practice from ‘doing to and for’ towards ‘working with and alongside’ affected communities. We also interrogate how power shows up for us in our everyday approaches and practices.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the complex power dynamics at play in your work and the organisations and wider systems you work within. You’ll also learn how to identify and articulate your power and position within different spaces and relationships and discern between different forms of power.
This workshop is for those who are:
- Seeking to develop and strengthen their participatory practice
- Working with people with lived and living experience
- Wanting to learn more about how to effectively draw from their own lived and living experience as part of their practice and/or advocacy
- Setting up or running client, consumer or lived experience advisory groups
- New or experienced practitioners who haven’t had the chance to reflect on theory and/or practice alongside sector peers (e.g. peer workers, lived experience consultants and advocates).

Morgan did an excellent job of creating a safe learning environment.
“Morgan was incredible – she really nailed the complexity/difficulty of the content. I really appreciated her frequent use of examples, how she shared her own stories of lived experience, and how she handled talking about more confronting topics like power and privilege – these things all really added to my understanding. I liked that the workshop was structured in chunks/parts – this helped to give the day structure and help me understand what was coming up next.”
