People of Purpose X Youth Affairs Council of Victoria: Connect Four

🤝WHAT IS CONNECT FOUR?

Connect Four brings together a diverse mix of creatives, entrepreneurs, leaders, researchers, activists and beyond, to connect over topics which are not usually explored in our daily lives. Come along and connect with people who share your interests and collaborate on future projects!

🤝WHAT TO EXPECT?

During the first part of the evening, we will delve into 1:1 conversations that are engaging, insightful and promotes the sharing of ideas and collaboration. Topics range from world affairs, social impact, life, culture, anecdotes and more. 

The second part of the evening is entirely up to you! We will have an Open Mic available for you to share your story, idea or call to action with the entire room. 

Delicious catering from STREAT will be provided. 

🤝WHY DOES CONNECT FOUR EXIST?

By the end of the night, we hope you had the chance to engage in four meaningful conversations and walk away with some lasting connections. 

🤝HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE EVENT?

You will get the most out of Connect Four if you come to the event having thought about:

• Who you are
• What your story is
• What you’re trying to pursue
• A call-to-action from the audience

So carefully listen, converse, connect and collaborate!

Note: We take access and inclusion seriously. We are committed to making every event as accessible and inclusive as possible for all members of our community. If you have a specific access request, would like further information or want to provide any suggestions, we would love to hear from you.
