How the VPF works
The VPF meets twice a year, with many opportunities offered for ongoing engagement between these meetings. The meeting process is interrogative and deliberative. Participants are given ample time for reflection and sense-making. Meetings are facilitated by skilled, experienced facilitators who draw on a range of methods and approaches.
