I&#8217;ve loosely categorised these into three \u00a0areas; People, Places, Spaces. The difference between place and space for me is that one is about the environment itself, and the other is more about the &#8216;feel&#8217; of the environment and the &#8216;space&#8217; that people are occupying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>People<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>people who access support<\/li>\n<li>collaboration<\/li>\n<li>unexpected speakers &#8211; the quiet ones in the room<\/li>\n<li>new staff!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Places<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>training days &#8211; away days<\/li>\n<li>in people&#8217;s homes &#8211; &#8220;on the job&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>at meetings (particularly multi disciplinary- but only when people feel at ease)<\/li>\n<li>online\/in research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>in groups where people feel comfortable and supported. This is somehow different from &#8216;people&#8217; because, I think it&#8217;s about removing people from their typical mind frame into a new &#8216;space&#8217;.
