Lunch & Learn with The Learning Space: "Audience Development" (Queenstown)
Description
Sometimes the hardest part of online learning is simply finding the time to sit down and do it.
Join Three Lakes Cultural Trust and huddl for a relaxed Lunch & Learn, where we’ll work through the first part of The Learning Space’s Audience Development module together.
This isn’t a presentation or a formal workshop. Think of it more like a working session… a chance to sit down with others tackling similar challenges, open up the module and actually get started, while enjoying a free lunch (on us)!
Together, we'll explore what audience development really means, why it matters and how to start meaningful conversations with your audience. Whether you're looking to attract new people, better understand your existing supporters or encourage deeper engagement with your mahi, this session is a chance to start putting some ideas into action.
We won’t get through the entire module in an hour, and that’s the point. We’ll help you make a start, work through the first few steps together and give you the printed resources, tools and momentum to keep going afterwards.
You’ll also have the chance to meet other people doing similar mahi across the region, swap ideas and learn alongside one another.
What to bring
Just yourself! We'll provide everything you need to get started, including printed resources to work through during the session and take home afterwards. We will have a screen and projector to watch the videos together.
If you'd prefer to work through the module on your own laptop, you're welcome to bring it along, but it's absolutely not required.
If you haven’t registered for The Learning Space yet, we suggest you sign up before the Lunch & Learn session, so you’re ready to get started on the day.
We’ll provide:
A light lunch
Module videos played on a large screen
Printed resources to help you work through the module
A supportive space to get started
Other humans to help keep you on task (sometimes that’s half the battle)

What is The Learning Space?
The Learning Space is a free e-learning platform for the community and creative sector across Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago.
It uses the successful ArtReach model developed by Creative Waikato and has been brought to our region as a one-year pilot, co-delivered locally by Three Lakes Cultural Trust and huddl with funding from the Department of Internal Affairs.
Available 24/7, it features ten self-paced workshops, covering topics including: governance, funding, promotion and storytelling, audience development, project planning, strategic planning and more. Each workshop is broken into short chapters, with practical activities, downloadable templates and toolkits to help you put what you learn into action.
You can work through the content by yourself, with your team or even around the boardroom table, dipping in and out whenever you have time.
The Learning Space is available free to community groups, creatives and for-purpose organisations across Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago.
