A Beginning ... Open Question
|
|
Could this newsletter be the beginning of conversations?
The UKACP newsletter editorial team would love to open up further dialogue.
We’re planning to incorporate a section in the summer issue of the newsletter called ‘Have Your Say’.
Our invitation is for readers to respond to what you’ve read in this issue.
What has moved you in this newsletter? What has prompted a response, of whatever kind?
Is the theme of ending resonant for you? What endings are you experiencing? What endings do you fear?
Or perhaps the connection with nature in this issue of the newsletter evokes a response?
Or the themes around conflict and war?
Our overarching theme remains: “We are not alone.” We invite you to send us anything that works for you as you respond – one line, a paragraph, an image, a poem, a story, a piece.
All contributions are welcome! Responses should be sent to publicity@ukagp.org.uk

A huge thank you to all who took the time to respond to our survey in the winter newsletter. The summary findings of the survey can be found here.
One area I really want to respond to is that some new voices have reported not feeling heard; they can feel ‘intimidated’ by a ‘culture of seniority’. As a community it’s important everyone feels their voice is welcome and heard. Read more
