1525 DIY: How to host spaces

13 Sep 2023 5-6.30pm

Overview

Delve into the intricacies of designing and hosting spaces with a consideration of the unique needs and wants of your community or audience. This session will be largely fuelled by our conversations, focusing on our shared knowledge and experiences through which we’ll explore:

- the experience you want to provide for those joining

- creating a space where everyone feels able to speak and collaborate

- choosing exercises to engage different ways of thinking

- ways of bringing energy or focus into a group

- your ideal + less ideal attendee and how to pivot your approach

- how to ensure your space has positive long term impact

Lastly, we’ll discuss on how to do all this while communicating your own needs and values as an organiser. You don’t need to have a clear event idea to join - you can simply use this space for brainstorming, exploration or inspiration. Throughout our conversation we’ll be connecting our ideas on paper, resulting in a big collaborative paper map which we’ll build on throughout this 1525 DIY series.
