About this event

Values are not just pledges, public statements, or content for the wall and the website. They are ‘lived out’ through the decisions we take, the way we navigate uncertainty and make difficult choices. Our values guide us in design and delivery, in how we show up to conversations, in what questions we ask and where we look for answers, and in what we feel the need to justify, defend, or interrogate further. Our values are our ‘north stars’, decision-making tools and standards to which we must hold ourselves and others to account. But too often, the rhetoric, actions and impact amongst powerful individuals and institutions are not in line. This creates feelings of cynicism, frustration and resentment which, if left unaddressed, become serious blockers to fruitful and meaningful progress. Working well with those we must also hold to account causes unwanted confrontations; truly influencing values-aligned work is no easy path.
