We’re all adults here.

Make the most out of SNAP, by making yourself aware of our Learning Manifesto, our Community Standards and our Ground Rules.

Learning Manifesto

We believe that SNAP offers the possibility to create a uniquely valuable learning experience.  Learning happens in workshops and talks, through engagement with speakers and other attendees in an informal setting and continues throughout the year at one-off workshops and informal get togethers. We learn through supporting each other in the SNAP community Facebook group and through community collaborations.  

Our aim is to work with speakers who have a broad spectrum of skill sets and life experiences and can help our community grow in their personal lives as well as in their business. We believe that different specialties are valuable, make our community stronger and contribute to our community feeling represented when they see our speaker panels. 

We are committed to seeking out feedback from our community and adjusting our approach accordingly. We aim to have clearly defined learning outcomes, evaluate our community’s learning needs and to deliver content with learning styles and audience engagement in mind.  

In a nutshell:

We are outcome focussed.

We acknowledge the need for different learning styles and therefore use a range of them.

Our community’s needs are at the heart of everything we do.

 

  • Defined learning outcomes.

    All of our workshops and talks will have defined learning outcomes, with information about delivery methods available so you can make sure the talks will be right for you. We will work with our speakers to make sure their workshops and talks are delivered within a defined structure that maximises outcomes and learning opportunities.

  • Balance between inspiration, technical skills, business skills and life skills.

    We aim to deliver a balanced programme across these areas. We will also ensure there are talks and workshops pitched at all levels of experience, with different learning streams where necessary.

  • A commitment to diversity and equality of opportunity.

    We are committed to equality and valuing diversity across our community and our speaker panels. We have established a community code of conduct and we will not tolerate discrimination on grounds of gender, gender identity, marital or relationship status, sexual orientation, race, colour, nationality, religion, age, disability, HIV positivity, working pattern, caring responsibilities, trade union activity or political beliefs – or any other grounds.

  • Motivate Meaningful Involvement.

    We will provide our community with learning experiences that are relevant to their current goals and/or that motivate them to engage deeply in the process of learning. We will seek feedback from our community and we will evaluate this feedback regularly to facilitate our own growth.
