We started with an online Linking and Learning meeting at the end of November, introducing Lisette and Cristina to the 12 funded projects, involving over 35 organisations. This was done through the lens of the Tree-ory of Change showing how the projects are connected through the six (cross-cutting) levers of change as well as the six outcome levels. It showed how the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts.

Following from the first introductory meeting, the TLF consultants consciously coupled two funded projects through so-called duo conversations as well as a conversation with the Coordination Team to get our mutual understanding of transformative change. And the level of understanding was captured in six quotes (available in the top image) which were hung on the wall during the face-to-face event.
'Transformation is not only about doing things differently, but about taking the time to reflect on what we did, how we did it and why”.
Both senior management as well as those involved in project implementation were invited to take part in the conversations. This was to get a better idea on the organisational as well as project level experience with transformational learning. It was interesting to note that at first people were reserved, wanted to find out what HFHP wants in terms of MEL, but relaxed when they found out this was a key opportunity for them to reflect and learn differently! It created a different energy and dynamic which was essential for the convening in Brussels!

In the heart of Brussels, in Bigh Anderlecht, stands an aquaponic farm on the historic site of the last working urban abattoir in Brussels -itself a sign of transformation! And it is here that over thirty change-makers from the 12 funded projects in France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom finally met in person!
After a few exercises to get to know each other, and a short introduction to transformational learning, each project was invited to make and present a poster of their actions, focusing on the transformative elements. In the gallery below you see a number of these posters.

After a refreshing and informative tour of the farm, we digged into the future we desired, using the Three Horizons approach: What is the future we want to realise? What are its key characteristics? And what would it look and feel like to be there? In small groups we were pondering upon these questions, which we then put on green sticky notes on the desired future horizon (H3 in the picture below in the top right). What we saw was, amongst others:
“Food plays a central role in everybody’s life; everybody produces some, everybody cooks, shares with others, food is also present in the streets and on the rooftops”
“Healthy, just, local food is accessible in urban areas through urban sustainable farms”
“Supermarkets are almost only selling plant-based foods with a small section of high-quality organic meat.”
Then we asked to identify islands or seeds of that future that are already visible in the present, called “the pockets of the future in the present”. Some examples were in H2 ad H3 bottom left):
“The ban on advertising for harmful food products in some cities/ regions (London)”
“School programmes educating children to grow their own food”
“There are already so much more plant-based products in supermarkets, so many more vegan restaurants”
This was a great stepping stone into the learning questions of each project. What is transformative about your questions? What needs to be challenged? Easier said -or rather asked- than done. Combine the what with the how, was the assignment. HOW are we going to contribute to those questions? In teams we made a first draft, then a second and a third, by interacting with others,getting feedback, connecting the dots, finding those gaps that we could address and hearing the echo of those unheard voices that we thought needed to be heard…
The final draft questions can be grouped in three categories:
How to collaborate or work with ‘the other’ (referring to adversaries)
How to bring in local communities and groups to those collaborations?
And how to move together in the same direction and engage in the long run towards a common vision?
We started the next morning with some yoga exercises; some stretching never hurts, thanks Catharina! Followed by a free writing practice on the question ‘what survived the night?’ Although sharing was optional, someone shared that she was not used anymore to handwriting! Someone else got the insight that he did not have to know the answer to everything, that it was OK to not know. And another valuable insight that survived the night was the importance to slow down sometimes in life and work.
The event ended just before lunch with reflecting on the challenges ahead and ideas to overcome them. How to keep the momentum going? (by scheduling another conversation in March.) How to stay in touch beyond the funded projects? Through the Hive. How do we find a balance acknowledging limited time and resources? How do we learn and exchange without over burdening?
Thankfully we weren’t in lack of ideas … We ended the gathering happy for the time we had to connect, to learn and to imagine the future we desire. Together our impact is more powerful and inevitable, and ‘times are urgent, so we need to slow down’.

This was a great stepping stone into the learning questions of each project. What is transformative about your questions? What needs to be challenged? Easier said -or rather asked- than done. Combine the what with the how, was the assignment. HOW are we going to contribute to those questions? In teams we made a first draft, then a second and a third, by interacting with others,getting feedback, connecting the dots, finding those gaps that we could address and hearing the echo of those unheard voices that we thought needed to be heard…
The final draft questions can be grouped in three categories:
How to collaborate or work with ‘the other’ (referring to adversaries)
How to bring in local communities and groups to those collaborations?
And how to move together in the same direction and engage in the long run towards a common vision?
We started the next morning with some yoga exercises; some stretching never hurts, thanks Catharina! Followed by a free writing practice on the question ‘what survived the night?’ Although sharing was optional, someone shared that she was not used anymore to handwriting! Someone else got the insight that he did not have to know the answer to everything, that it was OK to not know. And another valuable insight that survived the night was the importance to slow down sometimes in life and work.
The event ended just before lunch with reflecting on the challenges ahead and ideas to overcome them. How to keep the momentum going? (by scheduling another conversation in March.) How to stay in touch beyond the funded projects? Through the Hive. How do we find a balance acknowledging limited time and resources? How do we learn and exchange without over burdening?
Thankfully we weren’t in lack of ideas … We ended the gathering happy for the time we had to connect, to learn and to imagine the future we desire. Together our impact is more powerful and inevitable, and ‘times are urgent, so we need to slow down’.
After a refreshing and informative tour of the farm, we digged into the future we desired, using the Three Horizons approach: What is the future we want to realise? What are its key characteristics? And what would it look and feel like to be there? In small groups we were pondering upon these questions, which we then put on green sticky notes on the desired future horizon (H3 in the picture below in the top right). What we saw was, amongst others:
“Food plays a central role in everybody’s life; everybody produces some, everybody cooks, shares with others, food is also present in the streets and on the rooftops”
“Healthy, just, local food is accessible in urban areas through urban sustainable farms”
“Supermarkets are almost only selling plant-based foods with a small section of high-quality organic meat.”
Then we asked to identify islands or seeds of that future that are already visible in the present, called “the pockets of the future in the present”. Some examples were in H2 ad H3 bottom left):
“The ban on advertising for harmful food products in some cities/ regions (London)”
“School programmes educating children to grow their own food”
“There are already so much more plant-based products in supermarkets, so many more vegan restaurants”

In small groups we were pondering upon these questions, which we then put on green sticky notes on the desired future horizon (H3 in the picture below in the top right). What we saw was, amongst others:
“Food plays a central role in everybody’s life; everybody produces some, everybody cooks, shares with others, food is also present in the streets and on the rooftops”
“Healthy, just, local food is accessible in urban areas through urban sustainable farms”
“Supermarkets are almost only selling plant-based foods with a small section of high-quality organic meat.”
Then we asked to identify islands or seeds of that future that are already visible in the present, called “the pockets of the future in the present”. Some examples were in H2 ad H3 bottom left):
“The ban on advertising for harmful food products in some cities/ regions (London)”
“School programmes educating children to grow their own food”
“There are already so much more plant-based products in supermarkets, so many more vegan restaurants”
This was a great stepping stone into the learning questions of each project. What is transformative about your questions? What needs to be challenged? Easier said -or rather asked- than done. Combine the what with the how, was the assignment. HOW are we going to contribute to those questions? In teams we made a first draft, then a second and a third, by interacting with others,getting feedback, connecting the dots, finding those gaps that we could address and hearing the echo of those unheard voices that we thought needed to be heard…
The final draft questions can be grouped in three categories:
How to collaborate or work with ‘the other’ (referring to adversaries)
How to bring in local communities and groups to those collaborations?
And how to move together in the same direction and engage in the long run towards a common vision?
We started the next morning with some yoga exercises; some stretching never hurts, thanks Catharina! Followed by a free writing practice on the question ‘what survived the night?’ Although sharing was optional, someone shared that she was not used anymore to handwriting! Someone else got the insight that he did not have to know the answer to everything, that it was OK to not know. And another valuable insight that survived the night was the importance to slow down sometimes in life and work.
The event ended just before lunch with reflecting on the challenges ahead and ideas to overcome them. How to keep the momentum going? (by scheduling another conversation in March.) How to stay in touch beyond the funded projects? Through the Hive. How do we find a balance acknowledging limited time and resources? How do we learn and exchange without over burdening?
Thankfully we weren’t in lack of ideas … We ended the gathering happy for the time we had to connect, to learn and to imagine the future we desire. Together our impact is more powerful and inevitable, and ‘times are urgent, so we need to slow down’.
