Listening Tour Statistics

[edit]

Purpose: To listen and seek to understand, as well as to ensure more informed decison-making. To learn from a range of voices across the movement, including those interested to share.

Channels: Many. See Listening Tour Meta page.

Participants: Analytics compiled to track participants but no specific targets were set. The participant profile grew organically depending on who reached out.

Timeline: Conclude first phase in January, finalise letter reporting out themes by end of January. Continue in 2022 with more listening, even if this phase of the tour ends.

Summary: Total of 275 conversations with people from 55 countries. Total of 17 community-organised events with 768 people (includes some overlap with individual interactions).
