Chinwag Virtual Network

If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s the importance of two things, one, community, and two, the value of the internet in making human connection possible even when there are barriers that pre-internet would of been insurmountable.

The relaxation of all Covid measures means that the world is opening up again and in-person meetings and networking are possible again. However, this is not the case for all, the extremely vulnerable, those with disabilities, those with mental health issues and those in remote locations have found our newly discovered, but now ubiquitous platforms, such as Zoom, a lifeline in reaching out to others and building their networks, and fostering new communities.  What a shame if all that were to go now that Boris has deemed it “safe” to mingle again.

 

That is why, we at Live Art Local are creating the Chinwag Virtual Network.  A network for creatives and arts/culture professionals from all over to connect virtually once a month to discuss new projects, build partnerships and to share advice/have a good old moan.  This network will be free to attend but donations will be greatfully received to support the running/administration costs.

 

The first meeting will be on Tuesday 22nd February at 6pm GMT and we then hope to meet once a month thereafter on the Tuesday closest to the 22nd.  The session until we secure funding will last 40 minutes.
