Working together better - collaboration in action

When your organisation shares a kaupapa with another organisation, collaboration can bring more experience and resources to help you achieve your shared goals and increase your combined impact.

This webinar will explore: what collaboration means; how you can develop your collaborative capacity, and; when might be the right time for collaboration.  This is an opportunity to learn from Miranda’s extensive experience working collaboratively across diverse fields and increase your collaborative fitness.
