A event on Tuesday 24th February. The event starts at 18:30.
✨Join for cosy, story-making and community building with a warm meal.
Together, we will create and share stories which celebrate our communities, identify their needs and which envisage a world we want to see. Come alone or with a friend — we design the event so everyone meets new people and leaves feeling more connected.
THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE STORY-MAKING PROGRAMME
This is the first event of MaFia Weekend's 9-month Community Resilience Story-Making programme. Together, we create and share stories which celebrate our communities, identify their needs and which envisage a world we want to see.
PROGRAMME AIMS:
-Express challenging topics through creative activities
-Celebrate the strengths of our communities & understand their needs
-Meet, connect, and collaborate with creatives around a common goal
The programme involves monthly workshops, 3 creative prompts, 3 online zoom events and 3 large in-person summit events. These are on a drop-in basis, however, we encourage you to commit to the full programme if you want to get the most out of it.
You can find out more about the programme on our Linktree: @mafia_weekend.
Come exactly as you are.
If you’re feeling energised, low, uncertain, hopeful or anything in between — you’re welcome.
We’ll support you to step gently out of your comfort zone with courage and playfulness (and yes, bring a pillow if you’d like to be cosy!).
