Good Talk Dinner @ Kyiv Social – Mental Health 💬

Based in Sydney? Keen to meet some great people, while having meaningful conversations and supporting good causes?

​Introducing Good Talk – a brand new brunch and dinner club series by Humans For Good. We're a diverse community of Aussies who want to turn their good intentions into impact, and do their part to make the world a better place.

This particular dinner is mental health themed, and for anyone who is curious about, or working in, this space. ​It is in partnership with Kyiv Social by Plate It Forward – a restaurant that provides employment opportunities for newly arrived Ukranian refugees.

What is Good Talk?

​Good Talk brunches and dinners offer more than a meal. They are a chance to get to know a small group of other people who care about social impact, while directly supporting the work of a local social enterprise.

​This looks like –

• ​Good food: Share a meal at a local social enterprise cafe or restaurant that matches your interests and budget (see all upcoming dinners & brunches here)

• ​Good causes: Have candid, authentic conversations about big issues like mental health, while funding employment opportunities and meals for people who need them

• ​Good humans: Connect with new, purpose-driven friends and people to collaborate with, in a casual and relaxed space – versus the classic office or networking environment

What's included in your $20 ticket?

• A seat at the table with new connections and meaningful conversation with a small, curated group of good humans in your city

• Two meals that are donated to families facing hunger in conflict zones, such as Gaza, through the UN World Food Programme

• Support for your host from Humans For Good, who makes the event possible and is there to guide the night

• ​A Whatsapp group chat before and after the event to stay connected

• ​Humans For Good operational costs, so that we can sustain these events and have the biggest collective impact possible

What’s not included?

• Food and drinks – a set menu is an additional $47.20, which you’ll order and pay for your directly at the venue. Entrees (pickles, beetroot borscht and potato dumplings), mains (chicken or eggplant kyiv, green salad, garlic butter mash) and dessert (cherry dumplings). This price includes two additional meals that are donated to people who need them in Australia and Ukraine via Plate It Forward 🇺🇦
