The learning ecosystem
Changing Futures Cambridgeshire & Peterborough focuses on learning lessons, overcoming and removing barriers, and on sharing learning from each person’s experiences so others don’t have to solve the same problems over and over again.
To help with this flow of communication, a simple governance structure has been devised to make sure that at each level of operations, people with lived experience are involved and lessons are shared with partners who can then work together to remove barriers.
Visualizing an ecosystem of learning
We have devised a graphic which sets out how we see the flow of information leading to learning, system change and lessons to help us all overcome the barriers faced by people in multiple disadvantage. We want to share successes when things go well, or are resolved. We are calling this our “ecosystem of learning”.
The ecosystem is building up. Parts are working already and parts are yet to be fully put into practice, but we hope the idea of flow of information and learning helps visualize what we are working towards…

System Leadership Foundation Training
The programme will provide a solid introduction to the MEAM approach and some of the principles and best practice at its core.
Through exploration of multiple disadvantage, systems thinking, coproduction, trauma and
strength-based approaches local individuals and partners will be offered a reflective space to connect with people from other organisations and agencies, to explore the foundations of their collaborative work.
The programme will support learning for people interested in developing their skills in systems thinking and is open to everyone across the whole system. We welcome participation from across all sectors and geographical areas of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
There are 48 places available. A number of courses will run from Autumn 2024 onward, each taking place over a 12 week programme
