The Common Agenda
The Common Agenda Evolution
The Life Promotion and Suicide Prevention FNQ Collaborative is designed to provide opportunities for creative thinkers, leaders, decision-makers and community members with a passion for suicide prevention, to come together to uncover creative solutions.
Adopting a Collective Impact-style approach to create a movement for change, we held workshops to build a Common Agenda* and identify Critical Shifts that needed to occur. A design workshop was then facilitated to create and pitch new ideas.
The one-page, easy-to-read sheets below, are the evolution of those ideas and were drafted to inspire action.
*Common Agenda: A vision for change shared by all participants that includes a common understanding of the problem and a joint approach to solving the problem through agreed-upon actions.
