Active lives - Focused Co-learning sessions (Over a Brew ☕)

  • Are you involved in / interested in reducing inactivity and enabling active lives?
  • Do you find the systems you work in and the lives of the people you work with are increasingly complex?
  • Are you looking for solutions and ideas?

If you answer yes to these questions (or are simply curious) - Grab a brew and join us for online sessions (1.5 hours) every other month.

We are offering an informal, but guided space, to reflect, get curious, learn together and problem solve across traditional boundaries of sector, organisation and locality.
