AFN22 is a one-day online whakanuia/gathering of the Australasian Facilitators Network (AFN). The theme of this year's gathering is:

playing with complexity

Many situations we encounter - as facilitators and as humans - are complex. Our ability to work with complexity is increasingly important; there is much to (un)learn. The AFN22 theme is an invitation to hold complexity lightly; to be comfortable with not knowing; to explore difference (and incongruence) with curiosity and creativity. Play invites whole-person, multi-sensory engagement; it fosters creativity and innovation and opens us to new ways of being, knowing and doing.
