@ParentpowerSL it all started with relational one to one's and listening. The results from listening fired us into action. We built relationships. Voices that felt like they were in the dark, met, and hope was created. Actions followed. Change happened and still is 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome @ParentpowerSL meeting this morning! We built power through relational One to one's, session on AI, information on comparative literature and film studies. Thanks @RealistBev for hosting @KCLWP

@ParentpowerSL @ParentpowerOL @FenlandPP @KnowsleyPP @ArkJohnArcher @CardiffPP_ if parents are not at the negotiation tables we could end up on the menu! There is power in our experiences that can inform decisions. Let's take action together and get around more 'tables'.
All actions are designed to get us around the negotiation table.
Here are the #ParentPower White City folks from @ArkSwiftPrimary negotiating with @LBHF about safer crossings on #SouthAfrica Road.
Thank you to @hammersmithandy for your support.
Improvements are on the way!
Parents, it's half term, so affordable activities that create fun memories is a must! Balance of work,rest, and play is needed for all our mental well-being.
Is the challenge for universities to keep things the way it's always been or to be brave and change, using community organising, to create the 'sweet spot' between new and old power that create authentic changes? #PowerKE
@ParentpowerSL @ParentpowerOL @RealistBev Why are parents not asking universities about their curriculum. What is our understanding? Might be an interesting conversation for our parentpower meetings 🤔 #PowerKE
