An exciting parcel arrived today - the final scenarios for our #MPFTWhoseShoes project creating new content to help us have the conversations that count! The latest edition relate to SEND - a huge topic that @whoseshoes.bsky.social and @yvonnenewboldmbe.bsky.social have done amazing justice to!

Gill Phillips @whoseshoes.bsky.social · Apr 6

Thanks Lyse! I knew you would love this episode.

I think it exemplifies everything we are trying to achieve through the wider #WhoseShoes movement.

The same themes occur right across our work, as you’ll know from the fabulous visual records produced by @annageyer-np.bsky.social

I loved that quote too! Really invigorating session, can't wait to see how the movement grows (and cobtribute to it!)

Gill Phillips @whoseshoes.bsky.social · Mar 26

I’m enjoying the Kimg’s Fund event – the launch of the ‘Do with, not do to’ movement.

My fave quote so far is from the fabulous @clentonf.bsky.social: “we (people) need to create the conditions to lead our gloriously ordinary lives”

This is brilliant and so useful. Thanks for taking the time to do this and rebuild the network!

In an effort to build/rebuild online networks I've set up 3 starter kits in my main areas of research interest:
