About this Event
In these challenging times, marked by divisions, polarisation, anger, and violence, finding creative responses are more vital than ever. Join us at the Tough Times Gathering, hosted by UNION and , to come together, share experiences, and support one another.
Why Attend?
- Refresh & Revitalise: Inspire and energise yourself while connecting with others.
- Explore Key Issues: Engage in creative discussions on power-sharing, care, reaffirming values, and maintaining integrity.
- Share & Develop: Exchange practices and tactics for togetherness and progress.
At the Gathering you will have the opportunity to work alongside others to creatively reflect on the current situation, and contribute to future planning using an Open Space approach to manage the content of the day. Our goal is for everyone to leave with renewed energy and belief in the essential community work we do every day.
Together, let’s shape the future with a shared sense of energy and purpose.
The situation is hopeless. We must take the next step
