community garden
Spotted in our community garden this week are two upcoming events hosted by our Bloom friends!
🌱Mansi is hosting a Co-Dreaming event for women: "As practitioners in the women's space, we often find ourselves having to point out what doesn't work for women. We don't get space to dream up a world in which women thrive. Let's get together to ideate what that world could look like.
Guided by prompts inspired from our women-centric research, you'll work together in small groups to explore concepts such as safety, trust, non-linearity – concepts that can positively impact women – and create what worlds can be possible if we only dared to dream. Register!"
🌱Stephanie is organizing the Political Festival of Europe: "Political Festival of Europe is an annual festival for democratic dialogue between European nations, organisations and citizens. Head on over to our website to explore opportunities for you to get involved, including as a speaker, an organising partner, an advisory board member and more."
