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:
1. Hawkesbury News Blog - established in partnership with the Hawkesbury Community Interagency to address gap of local information hub. Advantages- will reduce email info share overload, provide one central place for Hawkesbury services to post and access information relevant to the local sector and their communities, encourage broader sector collaborations and bind the Hawkesbury as a more cohesive community of services This blog will also be available for the community to access
2. Hawkesbury e-newsletter (HeN)–Weekly automated newsletter that is sent out to all members of the Hawkesbury Community Interagency. Advantages- will include all weekly postings to the Hawkesbury News Blog in easy to find search categories. Promote HCI as central contact for local sector, directly link the Hawkesbury News Blog to this interagency and encourage workers from other interagencies and services to become members of the HCI
3. Hawkesbury Interagencies Mailing List (HIML) web-based mailing list for the Hawkesbury Community Interagency. Advantages- one central email address, reduce convenor email overload, direct information share emails to Hawkesbury News Blog, more effective email communication enabled across membership between meetings. Promote as best practice model for other Hawkesbury Interagencies.
4. Hawkesbury Interagencies Portal (HIP) Interagency document archive on communityNet to store and publish interagencies meeting agendas, minutes terms of reference. Advantages-promotes wider visibility of Interagency, builds membership, particularly helpful for new workers

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”.

Rollo Browne is Director of BrowneWright Consulting and uses action methods extensively in his work as coach, facilitator and organisational development - www.brownewright.com.au. He is a Sociodramatist, and Director of Training at Psychodrama NSW, - www.anzpasydney.org.

Sydney Facilitators Network - February 2012 meeting
MONDAY 13 FEBRUARY 2012
Happy New Year everyone!
Facilitators Network was founded by Richard and Maria Maguire on 3rd February 1992 at their first meeting in Zaks coffee-shop of the Coopers & Lybrand (now HSBC) tower in George St. The Maguires enabled the network until a changing of the guard at the beginning of 2005. Since inception Facilitators Network has met 11 times per year every year– that’s a massive 220 meetings.
Whilst venues and format have changed over the years, the integrity of the building blocks established by the Maguires have remained in tact. The network has provided an invaluable learning platform for anyone who does group work. From humble beginnings, the network now has more than 700 subscribers. Other groups across the nation have followed our lead.
20 years ago facilitation was almost unknown “you do what? – Facilitate?” to an accepted way to do group work in organisations, education and communities across the globe.
The Maguires see their brainchild as true co-creation, full of gifts and surprises, always changing and never without challenge.
In this session we are privileged that Richard and Maria will facilitate a creative exploration of our manifold identity and journey as a Facilitators Network. There will be space for your snippets of memories and stories, regarding people, topics and processes, roles and goals, for timelines, colours and future promises.
The Maguires will engage us in various group expressions through sculpture, story, song, symbol and whatever else wants to unfold.
We would love for you to join the Richard and Maria Maguire in participating and contributing your ideas, questions and creativity into an unforgettable celebratory event.
Don’t rush home afterwards. Continue the 20 year celebration and fun by joining us for a dinner and a glass of wine afterwards in the Thai Restaurant [name] a short stroll from our venue at No 6 Broadway, next to Bar Broadway.
We are so much looking forward to seeing you there!
Venue: [Our usual venue]
University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Jones Street, Ultimo corner Thomas Street.
