  16. Why it’s important? • The Silent Launch – a short video about our FSF 2018 Launch in Kelvingrove, Glasgow.

  17. Theory of Change • ‘Small Fires of Change’ • In complexity, change happens through emergence • Small actions allow us to take small risks, try new things – bringing attention to new possibilities • Actions could be as simple as exploring a question or having a conversation – that can ignite systemic change • The connections, networks and relationships that Fire Starter builds and develops support small fires of change to ignite across the country

  18. The Benefits • Showcase your work • Extend networks and develop ideas with new partners • Participate in a national platform supporting innovation and creativity in public service • Collaborate and use public resources more effectively and efficiently • Help shape the future of public services.

  19. The ‘Rules’ • free to attend – there is no charge for participation in Fire Starter events. • accessible and open – events must be open to participants, no matter their organisation or background. • self-organised – events must be organised by those hosting them and their partners. Unfortunately the Fire Starter Festival team has limited capacity and cannot support, resource or fund events.

  20. Our Ethos We think Fire Starter events should: • celebrate and share creative, innovative and disruptive ways that support transformation • open participants up to new ideas, methods, projects and practices that they may not have been exposed to before • be hosted in creative, different and engaging ways, making best use of your talents, skills and interests, both in and out of work • make use of different spaces, venues and locations across Scotland – indoor, outdooror even online

  21. Reflections • What has emerged for you so far? • What ‘big question’ would you like to explore? • What connections do you see? • What do you want to ignite? • What do you want to burn?

  22. Questions? • What could you offer Fire Starter Festival? • What could Fire Starter Festival offer you? • What questions do you now have?
