Come along to the People Against Poverty Summit 2024. A 2 day summit bringing together people, movements and communities to learn skills, share ideas, build relationships, form networks of solidarity, and imagine an alternative to the poverty crisis.
What To Expect
The summit will consist of a one and a half day conference, half day network building and strategy event, grassroots market for community groups and artists to share their work, and a street kitchen social dinner at Musgrave Park.
Conference:
Hear from lived experience/expertise speakers and panellists, take part in practical skill shares on campaigning, community organising, community care and more, join hands on workshops (including street medic 101, how to run a street kitchen, protest rights and legal observing, centrelink advocacy for yourself and your community, building pop-up infrastructure, and more), and get updated on the current realities of the poverty crisis and opportunities for action.
Network building and strategy session:
Join activists, passionate people, and community leaders in a facilitated network and strategy building event, where we’ll get to know each other, find opportunities for collaboration, and build a cross-movement strategy for working effectively in solidarity and allying our movements.
Grassroots market:
Local and national community groups, alongside artists and makers, will be there at our grassroots market. You’ll have the chance to connect up to grassroots movements and find out how to get active on the issues you care about. There’ll also be the chance to learn skills and do art in community at our maker stations. If you’re interested in running a stall, get in touch here: https://forms.gle/yP79SWnAWvqHK9Ge8
Street Kitchen Social Dinner:
Join us for an amped up street kitchen at Musgrave Park on Saturday night for a social dinner after the first day of the conference. We’ll have delicious food and live music. People interested in learning how to run a street kitchen will get the chance to put their learning to the test first hand by helping set up and run the kitchen on the night. A great opportunity to connect with cool people and feed the community.
This summit won't be a talk fest. We want people to leave the conference with a list of things to do, people to collaborate with, and the skills and knowledge to get to work.
Have a session you would like to see or contribute? We want to create a platform for people to be able to share. Get in touch here with your session requests/pitches and we’ll try and fit them all in: https://forms.gle/48RtmpQpxdTNdkkg9
