The Act-ivate system is a genealogy of practice. We have curated the best ideas, the hardest lessons, and the most effective prompts from across the Welsh public sector and beyond.
Our work is built upon and inspired by:
The FGC Resources: Drawing from the deep expertise and guidance of the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner.
The Welsh Government Resources: building a culture of coproduction.
The Open Policy Framework (gov.uk): Integrating the principles of modern, transparent, and collaborative policy-making.
The Stanford d.school Human-Centred Design: Applying Human Centred Design methodologies to ensure policy moves from the page into the lived experience of users.
The Inner Development Goals: remembering that inner growth is a prerequisite of sustainable outer change. Helping develop a common language that connects personal transformations to systemic change.
The Practitioners: We are dependent on all of those who have been bringing the Act to life since its adoption, and are especially grateful to all those who gave their time to help develop, test and refine this tool. Thank you.
The Art of the Remix
Everything in this toolkit is a remix. We have taken the raw material of the Act and distilled it into a modular system of cards.
The flexibility is in honour of the change-makers who told us that “one-size-fits-all” is a lie.
We work in the spirit of collaboration with the very people this Act is designed to protect.
Still in Development
Because a good remix is never truly finished thiere is much more to add, to combine, to synthesise. If you have ideas please do get in touch contactus@futuregenerations.wales or join the act-ivators support network here.
Your role as Act-ivator
When you use act-ivate, we want you to take the elements of this system that work for you. Take these cards, shuffle them, ignore the ones that don’t fit and amplify the ones that do, make them your own. We aren’t giving you a script; we are giving you the ingredients to create your own work.
We’d love to know how these work for you.
