It is time to share and develop new ideas again!The Unconference format allows all the participants to share their experiences, tools and questions about training SF and using SF as training and organisational development practice. The programme will be shaped by the themes participants wish to explore with their peers. Bring your own ideas and questions!“I think that it was easy to join the group, and that people were genuinely receptive and happy about the newcomer! Everything was explained well, and the practical things went smoothly. It also makes it easier if there are other new and first-time participants”Netta Jakola, a participant of the last SOLworld/SFiO UnconferenceThis is an unconference for you if you train SF skills, if you use SF as a method for training other topics like leadership or if you use SF in the developmental processes of organisations, networks and ecosystems.We are happy to host the Unconference in Finland, where we already have decades of experience of long-term SF Training for coaches, supervisors and leaders.
