What’s on the agenda?

• Each evening will include a round of introductions (with a twist!) and a guided discussion on that month’s topic.
• A safe space where we exchange our perspectives and experiences, learn from each other and connect with like-minded people.

Practical considerations:

• The event is free but drinks/food are at your own expense.
• We ask that you arrive by 18:00 to ensure our conversations flow smoothly.
• If your plans change and you can't make it, please remember to cancel in advance so that someone else who is eager to join can take your spot!

See you there!
