Who initiates the activities?

• 'clients': other individuals, groups, organisations, systems invite us to propose/design and host activities for them
• the community: we design activities as a group and offer different 'packages' (joint project portfolio, see below)
• individual members: each of us can bring our own projects to be supported by the group (either through consultation/advice or collaboration on each other's projects - see the "chest of drawers" or "process design lab" )

Internal

→ Activities we have done so far for the sake of the community itself

• Hosting community gatherings: these are periodic gatherings, aimed at (our own) community development, process design, peer-learning and other exchanges
• Peer-learning, mentoring, coaching (each other)
