[EventStrategy] Our next event strategies session- safe spaces

[Sarah Allen]

Hello all,

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us on December 12th for a discussion 
on “Empower Key Stakeholders Through the Co-Design Process”.  During 
that session, a participant asked, “How do we create a safe space?”  
This sparked a more significant conversation for which an hour was just 
not enough as we collectively shared our own experiences and further 
questions in response.

Dirk and I have continued to chat about “safe spaces” since then, 
experiencing firsthand how important it is to build trust with 
participants early on in both the planning phases and the event itself, 
as trust facilitates the feeling of being “safe.”  Especially with what 
is happening, the federal grants freeze, in the US has created so much 
uncertainty for people and their work, and there is an ever-growing need 
to convene in solidarity and support.

We know continuing this conversation for our next Event Strategies 
session will be hugely valuable. We welcome you to bring your own 
experiences of designing for safe spaces, interacting with safe spaces, 
and what happens when trust breaks down in these spaces.


Join us. Thursday, March 6th, for 90 minutes from 16:00 to 17:30 UTC for 
“How do we foster safe space?”  – Register
