fresh expressions

In the late 1990’s and into the New Millennium, things were changing and stirring…. Disciples of Jesus were trying new and different things in response to where they saw the Holy Spirit at work. People in a number of denominations and mission agencies worked together reflecting on the 90’s church-planting movement and beginning a process of investing and pioneering new forms of church. These fresh expressions weren’t simply a fad or an attempt to be cool but looked to address a rapidly changing culture in the UK and a change in attitude to attending church and to a spiritual life. New things were taking place in different contexts, locations, times, as these different expressions sought to re-imagine church for this new environment, whilst staying true to a missional and Christ-centred gospel. In 2004 the Mission Shaped Church Report, instigated by Archbishop Rowan Williams, listened and noticed what was happening, and new language began to develop such as ‘the mixed economy.’ The report went on to make recommendations for the future practice of this pioneering mission movement. It has gone on to be one of the most widely read and purchased Church of England reports ever. It argued that… “The time has come to ensure that any Fresh Expression of Church that emerge within the Church, or are granted a home within it, are undergirded with an adequate ecclesiology” Mission Shaped Church Report All of this was exciting and encouraging for many practitioners at the time who were working hard to disciple people and develop new and imaginative expressions of Church but found them hard to be accepted as ‘church.’ The report recognised their importance, placed value on their role in a ‘mixed economy’ or Church and furthermore recognised the need for the “identification, selection and training of pioneer church planters, for both lay and ordained furthermore recognised the need for the “identification, selection and training of pioneer church planters, for both lay and ordained ministers” (MSC pg.147.) From this the Fresh Expressions initiative was born, as a partnership between the Church of England and the Methodist Church and initially led by Bishop Steven Croft (now Bishop of Oxford) with Revd Peter Pillinger as the Methodist Team Leader. Over the next 15 years new denominational partners joined the movement – the United Reformed Church, the Salvation Army, the Church of Scotland and the Baptist Union of Great Britain – all of whom identify growth and encouragements in these new experiments in Church. The initial team identified: “a Fresh Expression is a form of church for our changing culture established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church”

If you are contemplating transitioning your organisation to Agile ways of working, then you have probably already read numerous reports and editorials on the advantages of Agile delivery and all the improvements you can expect in terms of speed of delivery, quality of outcome and most importantly, reduced costs; but have you thought about the challenges you may face along the way? When organisations begin their Agile transformation, one of their first challenges is understanding the roles necessary to support the initiative; for example, one of the most critical but often a new concept for many organisations new to Agile delivery, is the role of the ‘Scrum Master’. The most frequently asked question is "What makes the Scrum Master role different from that of a Project Manager?" The differences are important and, in our experience, understanding them is crucial to Agile success. A strong corporate culture not accustomed to the Agile mindset can also be a difficult environment in which to implement Agile methods. In some cases, the company’s culture and practices may reward non-Agile milestones while inadvertently discouraging Agile success. In other words, If the correct framework for the new delivery concept is not in place, Agile adoption can be extremely difficult. When a company maintains a non-Agile framework and then tries to shoe-horn in Agile practices, they often end up accomplishing less at greater cost while also achieving lower quality results which, ultimately leads them to somehow conclude that, it is Agile that does not work. Agile training workshops We combine powerpoint presentations, business cases and discussions to create an effective learning experience; an optional online assessment on conclusion of the workshops assess the level of Agile knowledge transfer. Take a look at our Agile training workshop services for course features. Agile coaching Our professional and highly motivated Agile coaches will be responsible for creating and improving Agile processes within your team or organisation by spreading industry best practices between different teams, integrate Agile teams with non-Agile practices and measure the results of the transition. Business change and process automation The COVID-19 pandemic refocussed businesses on resilience, for many that resulted in an acceleration of the business process automation agenda. Automation combined with contextual intelligence can provide a route to greater agility, reduced risk, a better delivery experience and stronger growth. Working closely with your teams, we can map you existing processes using UML diagrams enabling us to identify process gaps, inefficient or repetitious tasks. Once the process optimisations have been agreed, we can proceed to automation with bespoke interfaces and system workflows enabling your teams to focus more easily on the business of generating growth. We are also fully versed with the UK central government/public sector GDS Digital by Default Service Design Standards, G-Cloud and DOS framework procurement processes.

Martinex is a Finnish family-owned company that designs, manufactures and imports games, toys, clothing and accessories, and household goods. Martinex was established in 1986, when Risto and Tuula Muinonen decided to seek their dream; Risto had been working for Brio the toy company for a long period but an idea and an ideal of entrepreneurship and being an entrepreneur had grown strong from the seed that already had been planted at his childhood home At first, Martinex worked in the novelty and household goods business that still today plays an important role in the company and continue to be close to heart to the whole family. Gradually the long days and hard work paid off and Martinex established itself as a manufacturer and as a wholesale business. The business caught on to the next generation as Riia and Jenni, Risto’s and Tuula’s children, started working in the company with different tasks, gradually absorbing the entrepreneurial spirit that is the driving force in a family business. Year 1992 was a milestone for Martinex: the cooperation with Moomin Characters began. The company grew fast; as the company got bigger, the significance of the family as a source of strength was further emphasized. The years went by and in August 2001, it was time for the second generation to take over the company they had learned to know and love. Riia Sandström was appointed as the managing director and Jenni Jalava as a business area manager. Martinex continued to be guided by strong visions, ideas and courage, and in 2003 the company acquired the whole gaming business are of Peliko, a well-known and established Finnish manufacturer of board games. The warm and engaging company culture contributed to the growth of the company as did further acquisitions. In 2013, a Swedish manufacturer of board and card games, Mindtwister, and a Finnish manufacturer of educational card games, Emmi-tuote, became parts of the Martinex family. During the same year Martinex also entered the mobile gaming market. After a bit over 30 years, Martinex is currently an international company, with export to over 50 countries.

London

We like to think it’s simple, schools choose us because we know schools, we know data, and we know compliance. Our core team is made up of ‘super clever’ folks, all of whom have worked in schools, know their culture, systems and their idiosyncrasies, and who have a passion for ensuring pupils and staff data is safeguarded. About Us 1 Education Data Hub - Data Protection From humble beginnings Education Data Hub started in 2017 with one person whose job it was to assess what support schools in Derbyshire wanted to help them towards compliance with the new GDPR. The answer was a lot! So the GDPRforSchools service was formed. Starting with 30 pilot schools, our team of qualified Data Protection Officers has now grown to offer support to more than 200 schools across Derbyshire and nationally. Education Data Hub - Data Security To all things Cyber Whilst the DPO team were working with schools, they noticed that many schools also needed help assessing and understanding their data security compliance levels. So the Cyber Support Service was born, with the team quickly achieving recognition for its pioneering work with schools, and who we are proud to say now work alongside the DfE, the National Cyber Security Centre and IASME, supporting schools in achieving cyber resilience and to work towards the national Cyber Essentials certification.

kites for schools

Dorset,

Involve parents and friends. Invite them to come and watch or join in, some may even like to purchase a kite from your school as a fund raiser. Hold your kite day on a Friday so it will encourage the children to fly with their family on the weekend. TOP TIP – Grandparents and Aunties and Uncles love it! To publicize an event such as a fete, hold your kite day two weeks earlier. Invite the local newspaper to take photos, and also mention your coming event in their story. Don’t worry about the weather. Our kites fly in everything except pouring rain and very strong winds. Some schools in Scotland held their kite day in the snow in January. Take your left over sticky tape, a hole punch and a pair of scissors when you fly so you can make quick repairs and cut out tangles and re-tie kite lines if you need to.. Have a science lesson in the week before your kite day. Kites are a feature of almost every culture, old and new, from India and China to modern kite surfing. Why not combine kites with your multicultural activities program? Practice tying knots in class the week before and set a weekend task of encouraging your children to have their family help them practice tying knots.
