Join our day of free workshops, talks and conversations - run by young people, for young people - focused on our collective experiences of work.

Join our welcoming space to:

• Get insight into your own skills and strengths, and how to talk about them through an interactive workshop

• Discover other young peoples' experiences and hopes around work through guided conversations

• Be connected to the local community by meeting others in your area over free lunch (there are goodybags too!)

• Get inspired by a talk from a local speaker - more info coming soon!

Who is this for:

If you're a young person aged 18-26 who is job seeking, working for yourself, working zero hours or in employment - this space is for you. Whether you have it all figured out or not, all experiences are welcome.

If you have any questions, send us a DM on Instagram or Twitter or email on hello@collaborativefuture.co.uk

Why we're running this event:

As young people ourselves, we wanted to create events that bring young people together, allowing them to share different experiences of unemployment, under-employment and loneliness and have the space to get support to better understand their skills and strengths. From this event, we hope to get more of an idea about the wants and needs of young people today and explore what Collaborative Future can do to support.

Useful stuff:

ACCESSIBILITY - The space is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets. You can note any other asks or access needs when you book your ticket.

FOOD - A light lunch and drinks are available as part of the event. Please note your dietary preferances and allergies when booking your space.

BREAKS - Although the event runs from 10.30am until 3.30pm, we'll have multiple breaks and a lunch throughout. Plus, you can always nip out to catch a breath if needed.

WHAT TO BRING - Just bring yourself - we'll have pens and paper available for taking notes.

GOODYBAGS - Yes those will be given out at the end of the event for your time - expect snacks and treats (with vegan and nut-free options too).

CANCELLATIONS - If you can no longer make it, let us know ASAP so we can give the space to someone else who will find the event valuable (also so we don't create unnecessary food waste).

UNSURE? - If you're unsure or feeling anxious about coming, you are welcome to bring someone with you. Alternatively, touch with us - we can say hello so there is a familiar face in the room, or we can meet you a little bit before the event if you don't fancy walking in alone
