Rāta Region – CONNECT Express: Tuesday 13th October
Christchurch - Starting Tuesday 13th October - 1-2.30pm
CONNECT participants have loved this year’s peer mentoring groups! So we are squeezing in a shorter, express version to support you to end 2020 more inspired than exhausted: Join us for FREE Connect Express, run in three 90 minute sessions.
CONNECT brings together small groups of 5-6 people who meet online to explore and deepen their CLD practice. Sessions are hosted by an Inspiring Communities facilitator and provide a great way to:
• reflect on what’s happening in communities across your region
• get feedback on new ideas you’re keen to try or around tough stuff you’re facing
• build your CLD support network
