At the last TDN meeting Celia Hutton reported that the SHINE launch will be held on March 29th at 2.30 pm at Windsor Library and the project will be training people to use 6 online resources.
SHINE resources/strategies overview:
• Primary strategy, set up Hawkesbury Community Interagency as central interagency, link Hawkesbury News Blog to this interagency, encourage all agencies that provide services within the Hawkesbury LGA to become members to this interagency. Enable broader cross-over of workers across other interagencies, and reduce interagency service siloing.
• Members of HCI will receive a weekly HeN (Hawkesbury e-newsletter) that can be easily searched via sidebar categories. Will list all events posted that week in the Hawkesbury. Will be great way to get information out to the entire local sector in one post without advertising costs, simply requires agencies to become members of HCI. Advantage easily searchable via categories unlike other e-newsletter such as MCRN support new.
• See below overview of 4 of the resources developed under the SHINE project that would make you work as both a convenor and sector worker more effective. If you would like to discuss anything further with me, please call anytime.
SHINE Online Resources:

Sydney Faciliatators Network - March Meeting
Next Meeting | Monday March 12, 2012 | 5.30pm
“Using Action Methods to Assist Insight” with Rollo Browne
Facilitators and coaches all value the 'aha' moment in our work. A new idea, a sudden understanding that solves or reframes a complicated situation. One of the big attractions of insight is because we know that people really remember the ideas achieved through insight. This is highly significant in in individual and group learning. It would be great if we could create insight on demand!
“Over the last decade researchers have begun to understand more about what happens in the brain at the moment of insight. This gives some clues as to the conditions that make it more likely for people to generate their own insights. Intrigued by this I began to wonder if we could adapt our techniques to maximise the possibility of insight.
In this session I propose to examine the implications of the neuroscience of insight and apply this to dilemmas that we face. I believe that by the use of several simple action techniques to support the insight conditions, we can at least generate a new perspective and, perhaps, even generate insight. You will also get a chance to practice in small groups”.
