The session is designed to build a network of knowledge so we can see who is doing what, know who to reach out to for advice and share information. Each station is manned by a facilitator and scribe to keep the session on track and capture the key learnings.

Your work is rewarded with food and drinks to finish off the day, and the whole community is rewarded with a map of who is doing WHAT, WHERE and WITH WHOM.

The six issue thematics will be:

1. Circular economy
2. Resilient Cities & Communities
3. Mental Health and Wellbeing
4. Equity First Thinking
5. Climate Transition
6. Regenerative Future
