ATLA, the community for "Alternative Thought, Action and Learning", believe that everyone has the potential and the right to imagine better futures, and to bring these into reality. The focus of our Community Interest Company is therefore to support these processes through the provision of material resources, facilitation, education and opportunities to share and disseminate thought. The financial year 2023-224 was ATLA's first year of existence and operation, we employed no one during this period. As such, the initial work of the two founding Directors was to establish the legal and financial infrastructure necessary for operation, as well as contract work for the creation of a public presence. A further Director was recruited to develop the expertise required. Beyond the development of core organisational capacity, ATLA conceived, developed and published its first "Periodic Periodical". This work provided 5 contributors with the focus, support and concrete opportunity to share their alternative thoughts for learning and action for a better world. The publication was made available both physically and digitally, and was interacted with by an initial audience in Coventry, but also from across the UK, Europe and the wider world: we had downloads in Asia and the European Union. Contributors benefited from support to develop and share their ideas; consumers were exposed to new and original thinking on a variety of topics.
In our first year of operation stakeholders have been additional potential Directors, individuals who might and have contributed to our creative work, as well as a wider local, national and international audience. Our two founding Members of the Board of Directors accessed existing networks to identify potential future colleagues and collaborators. Informal conversations supported the development of the ATLA concept, mission statement and practical plans for development. These consultations resulted in the appointment of a new director: Ellie House has significant knowledge of creative and artistic process, but also of corporate governance and fund raising. A growing network of thinkers, creatives and artists was consulted concerning the development of a Periodic Periodical. The format, themes and practical management was all developed in collaboration with these individuals. Contributors supported one another to develop work and also refine the theme for our first edition. Many of those who have engaged with our publication was provided feedback that will contribute to a refinement of creative process, publication and dissemination.
