The Engagement Toolkit: Concepts, Tools and Creative Techniques to Boost Employee Morale and a Amplify Team Progress
Inspired by the Tutu Foundation UK's Ubuntu Round Table Project, this keynote explores transformative activities and philosophies that have successfully bridged the gap between disadvantaged communities and the Metropolitan Police across ten London boroughs. By fostering dialogue, building mutual respect, and promoting empathy, these engagements have paved the way for meaningful connections and positive change, rooted in the spirit of Ubuntu – "I am because you are." Through creative collaboration and shared understanding, this approach has addressed critical social divides and strengthened communities!
