A programme of accessible, inclusive, informative, skills-based, & inspiring events and offerings : Co-created with, and for, our wider community.

We;

• curate an Autumn and Spring programme on an ongoing basis
• curation and organisation begins 3-6 months before the oncoming season
• have limited capacity to collaborate with everyone who applies - atm we are looking at increasing our capacity through seeking additional funding.

Example programme events and offerings:

• Film Showings (such as We the Uncivilised)
• Art Exhibitions
• Performances
• Non-conferences
• Panel Discussions (such as food justice fortnight)
• Regenerative Careers Fairs (such as Proper Job)
• Networking / Gatherings (such as Educators Unite)
• Fundraisers / Parties / Celebrations / Shared Meals (such as our Winter Warmer)
• Skill-shares
• Workshops / Trainings / Courses (such as Participatory Education)
• Art of hosting / Sharing Circles / Way of counsel

Why collaborate?

• Increased heads (ideas), hearts (passion), hands (practical support) by working together
• Increased amplification - we can bring our platforms / audiences / networks together for further engagement
• Increased diversification and shared learning : manifestation of new offerings / blendings of practices of expertise
• Shift is a community interest company with insurance, health and safety protocols, and a long established history of running events. This provides a legal and safe container for others to work within
