In association with the Social Enterprise World Forum, SECNA is launching their first ever storytelling event to connect, celebrate and collectively dream about a shared vision for a future where all people, places and the planet thrive.
Co-hosted by Our Race, Racha’s Syrian Kitchen, Digital Storytellers, First Innovators, A Window in Time and many more - we will have a range of workshops to support you to shape and refine your stories, private booths and lounge areas for community conversations, cooking experiences and stories over supper, a Thrive wall to write and share ideas and an open mic in the evening, where we welcome any art forms:
-
Presentation
-
Slam poetry
-
Song
-
Visual Media
-
Movement/Drama
Led by a working group of Cultural and Indigenous Social Entrepreneurs - those in the creative and arts sector who use business to build platforms that disrupt belief systems, shift cultural norms or sustain, preserve aspects of culture valuable for future generations - we invite you to come along and tell us about a person, place or vision in your community, for example:
-
Your great, great, great-granddaughter making her way to school
-
A new migrant going to meet their local member of parliament
-
An emerging Indigenous Elder
How will their experience be different in a future where all people, places and the planet thrive?
