Women Changemakers Community Gathering - Hong Kong
A safe place for women changemakers (and aspiring women changemakers) to meet one another;
A small-scale gathering where you can actually have intentional conversations with everyone;
A community you show up and participate equally as an agent of change;
A space to exchange stories and find inspirations to bring collective impact;
A tribe you can come back to every month as your support network and build authentic friendship.
This is what this gathering is about. For women changemakers.
Let's start off the New Year of Snake with a potluck lunch sharing and vision boardI g and human library! We are inviting all the participants of the past gathering participants and new comers for this women changemakers gathering at Dream Impact (Lai Chi Kok) on Feb 8 Sat 12 noon!
It is a gathering where everyone shows up as an equal participant, questioning and chatting. No panel. No presentation. No speech. Just intentional conversations.
What is Women Changemakers Community Series?
The idea began in the summer of 2023 when two changemakers in Hong Kong, Carmen (Girls Be Change) and Dorothy (Dream Impact), questioned and envisioned what an ideal community is. We need a safe place among women changemakers to have organic meetups, intentional conversations and idea exchange with social ease, find inspirations and encouragement from each other, and build authentic friendships and support networks.
The first Women Changemakers Community Gathering was held in Hong Kong on March 8, 2024 at International Women’s Day. Ever since then, we cohosted with 16 (and counting) organizations and gathered over 130 (and counting) women changemakers across continents.
