MINI LEARNING EXCHANGE
At the RICSE conference in March 2009 some of you said, you would like to come back in six months time to discuss how to move the SE regional network forward. As a result, Reading will be hosting a mini learning exchange at an extended Resident Involvement Networking Group (RING) meeting. This normally covers Buckingham and Berkshire but this month will go wider. Those of you wishing to find out more about what your colleagues are doing in the South East should come along.
Draft Agenda
- Presentations on good practice
· Hot Topic Lunch
- Steering Group discussion
There will be lots of time to network with colleagues from across the South East and we will also be setting up the new steering group for RICSE. If you would like to participate in the new group, this is an excellent opportunity to get involved.
The Meeting will be taking place in the Civic Centre, Reading Borough Council on Thursday, 26th November, 2009 and lunch will be provided
More details will follow nearer the time or catch up with us at the Guildhall!
