SHED CONNECTIONS
Strategic Development
The constantly changing nature of lives, occupations, technology and associated learning transitions has for many years highlighted the importance of understanding how people access the places and knowledge necessary to successfully navigate through their social and professional lives.
Shed Connections, sponsored by The Central Coast Community Shed, has developed the following strategies based within Team Playing, Board Gaming and a Computer Hub to assist with this transition.
The Vision
Shed Connections has joined with Team Playing to provide a safe space and the facilities to support people who are seeking support to enhance their leadership abilities.
Shed Connections can also assist with enhancing personal connections through social and emotional wellbeing via strategic training in leadership, board gaming, workshops and creative resources. This engagement with whole of life learning brings principles and purpose into lives through leadership-teamwork-companionship-learnership and creative interaction.
The environment of Organisational Learning
The Shed’s environment and ethos are designed to provide strategies that enhance personal development and learning which are implemented through the application of principle, purpose and people. As the Shed has already implemented and encouraged a number of emergent communal initiatives it is well placed to strengthen and shape the values and potentials associated with organisational learning and the empowerment of individuals and their communities across the Central Coast.
The Culture of Board Gaming
The playing of Board Games enhances (reflective) learning while enabling supportive environments that create and empowers a culture based within companionship which nurtures mutuality, respect and obligation. To assist these processes Shed Connections provides the safe space and an assortment of games and activities that are designed to assist fine tune the environmental, the psychological and the social practices that come together to enhance mutual trust, social connections and communal values.
Simply, Shed Connections provides the environmental management to assist organisational learning in order to inspire and support individuals as they reconstruct new identities and pathways to social and emotional wellness.
In summary, the strategic organisational teambuilding and companionship as promoted by Shed Connections and Team Playing is designed to create a social environment where social interaction, board games and workshops allow individuals to walk together in to promote a participative, responsive learning environment that assists, supports and encourages reflection upon Life and communal learning. Team Playing combines games and creative ability to sustain a culture of equality and inclusivity that provides the cohesion and self-appraisal that assists and inspires individuals and their communities to develop resilience, encourage sustainability and promotes social inclusion.
