Beyond the BIM

Election periods can be strange times in the public sector.

Uncertainty, relief, frustration, hope, grief, curiosity, exhaustion, or a mix of all of them before the second cup of coffee. Most of us keep moving because the work still needs doing. That doesn't leave much room to notice what's happening beneath the surface.

Are you a public servant navigating change, uncertainty, and the twelfth rewrite of the BIM?

Beyond the BIM is a chance to step away from your desk for 45 minutes. Get some of what you’re carrying out of your head and onto paper, so you walk back with a bit more room than you left with.

You'll receive a small sketchbook to keep, along with a handful of reflective prompts and access to a table full of stickers, pens, pencils and washi tape.

Whether you've been wrestling with 3am ruminations, gone cross-eyed from staring at your screen, or simply need to trade the office air-con for a different flavour of recycled air, you're welcome here. Bring a colleague if you’d rather not walk in alone.

This is a space totally unconcerned with politics and fully concerned with people.

We'll spend a little time noticing, creating and exploring. There will be an opportunity to share at the end if you'd like to, but you're equally welcome to keep your reflections entirely to yourself.

This session is offered on a koha basis. Contributions towards venue hire and materials are welcome, but not expected.

Come as you are.
