1525 DIY: Testing Ground
Bring your event idea - be it a workshop, support space, training, online course, performance, webinar - and get feedback, advice and connections to clarify your next steps in making your event a reality. In this session, we’ll look back on the two collaborative maps of ideas, experiences and learnings from the previous events in the series (one focused on hosting spaces for a community, and other on planning event logistics) and focus on how the knowledge from these relates to you, your vision, your community or practice. You don’t need to have a clear event idea to join, you can simply use this space for brainstorming, exploration or inspiration.
