On April 16 the Huddles gathered together and shared —with the wider Wasan Network — what emerged. The event was an opportunity to dive into some of the inspiring learning that happened through peer-driven activities, performances, story-telling and more. Here you can revisit what the Huddles have been up to through the:

• Event recording - An introduction to the Wasan Huddles, a collective ‘fishbowl’ exercise to unearth cross-Huddle learning, and a short intro to the 6 themes that the Huddles gathered around.
• AI summary - A summary of the insights and key themes that emerged during the showcase.

Key points

The showcase served as a culmination point for the Wasan Huddles, which were peer-led learning groups. Participants shared reflections on the huddle model, the learning experience itself, the relationship to the Wasan network, and areas for future exploration.

Reflections on the Huddle Model and Structure:

• Huddles are designed as a structured process of peer learning for groups of about 8 to 12 people over four to six months, centered around a shared theme or inquiry.
• A key strength is that groups design their own curriculum based on what participants bring, allowing for excitement and creating a logic from emergent content.
• Having a clear end date was seen as powerful, offering explicit entry and exit points, which can be valuable in network participation.
• The model provides a "deeper container" for learning, enabling participants to explore more freely within a supportive structure. It offers a lightweight "map," allowing the process to lead to unexpected destinations.
• Curating a group around a learning question provides just enough constraint for coherence, while allowing participants freedom enables unexpected openness and discovery.
• The design inherently shares power and agency, which may influence how tension and conflict are addressed.
