This in an invitation to join us for our 48 hours Changemakers' Fayre; the culmination of a 3 week long celebration of civic entrepreneurship, impact venturing and change making at the Hub. Over the course of the festival, we aim to seed a thousand conversations on everything from the future of impact investment to the reintroduction of ‘micro-making’ in our cities.

By seeding a thousand conversations at the Hub, we’re hoping to create the fertile ground for community groups, activists, policy makers, social enterprise leaders and innovators to come together and deal with some of the major questions and challenges that the world is facing today, including:

  • How do we create truly sustainable places, neighbourhoods and cities in an era of increasing polarisation and discontent?
  • What is the future of currency and capital in a post-recession world plagued by chronic financial crises?
  • How do we create genuinely democratic avenues for learning and making which empower individuals and communities to create their own pathways for a better future?
  • How do we not only invest in, but also learn from, the emerging economies of the global south and those countries otherwise left behind by globalisation?

It's time to make an impact - and you're invited to lead.
