FUN AT THE FESTIVAL

The Digital Festival isn’t all about work and learning. We have planned some fun challenges which will help you connect as a team.
On the Monday of each week we will set you a fun and varied mini challenge for your team to complete and submit on the Friday. Points are awarded for completion and bonus points for creativity and even being healthy.
We also have one challenge which we will set on the first day of the Festival and you will have 4 weeks to complete which will get you out and about in our wonderful borough.
Don’t Delay! Sign up your team today and brighten up your November: Register here.
The first challenge launches on Monday 1 November at 10am – get more info here!
Join our Organisational Development, Learning and Leadership Cohort
As part of our Organisational Wellness Strategy we want to create a flourishing workplace where everyone is able to be at their very best.
To support this ambition we’re looking for volunteers from across the Council to join our Organisation Development, Learning and Leadership Cohort. The Cohort will have lots of opportunities to get involved in new wellness initiatives, such as coaching, mentoring, facilitating development sessions and sharing new ideas.
During November’s Digital Festival we will be running lots of sessions for you to find out more about the Cohort and what’s involved, so join us for;
- A virtual ‘hangout’ with the team to learn about who we are and what we do.
- Complete our ‘Own Your Learning’ sessions, which will be on areas related to our world.
- Join a weekly LifeClubs webinar, where you’ll explore areas related to each of our four Landmarks to help you Connect, Belong, Grow and Flourish.
- Take part in our workshops about the big conversation we want to have and how you can support us.
