Join us for an interactive workshop aimed at sharing success stories, building peer-to-peer learning and mapping out new directions.
The sharing and collaborative economy offers us ways to reduce our resource consumption, strengthen community connections and build a vibrant, compassionate, sustainable economy. The aim of this workshop is to build networks and strategies for strengthening small scale, local sharing initiatives. Come along and share your stories, or just come along to listen and learn – everyone’s welcome.
