Open Forum = Inspiring! Community Venue Learning Series #3

Written by Shana Graham | Aug 16, 2022 11:01:17 PM

Actually, inspiring is an understatement to describe last Thursday's Community Venue Learning Series webinar. I mean, what else would it be if you heard stories and insights from two amazing venues (Aaiotanga Community Space and MoveSpace) AND the feedback from fellow community venues who took part in the session? It's safe to say we're definitely putting on open forums like these in the future for this series! 

Some key takeaways included:

❤️ How to discover what services your unique local community needs from your venue, and thinking about the wider ecosystem you exist in
💚 The importance of 'third spaces' where people can be their true selves and how your venue can be this for people.
💛 What can accelerate connection between people who use or work with your venue

Missed the session? It's too good to not share, so here's the full recording! Want even more inspiration? Join the Community Venues Facebook Group - a peer to peer space open to ALL who work/volunteer for community venues (not just ones on SpacetoCo)! 

Next month, we're learning all about placemaking ideas for community venues - register here for September's session!
