In the Post-Covid world, we define our values as an organization, collectively. We can brainstorm together, in real-time, from step zero, with every person having a say. Enormous, collaborative co-creation sessions which weave together all voices of the community are the new Town Hall: the ‘Co-CreaPalooza’.
