Making Things Simpler To Do In Community

You’re the one who makes things happen.
You start the WhatsApp group. Paint the sign. Rally the neighbours. Pull off the pop-up — even when it’s messy.

But let’s face it — it shouldn’t always be this hard.

This workshop is for grassroots doers, community creatives, and the go-getters who make change from the ground up. You’ve got momentum — now let’s build systems that match your energy.

🔧 In this session:

• Reduce the friction in community-led action (and still keep it safe)
  
  
• Learn tools for “making it up” without it all falling apart
  
  
• Bring others into the work without burning yourself out
  
  
• Get real hacks from other legends doing things their own way
  
  

No jargon. No complex strategy decks. Just simple, useful ideas to make good work easier to keep doing.

💥 You’ll leave with:

• Creative co-doing tools that work in the wild
  
  
• A fresh take on “good enough” systems for community work
  
  
• Real examples, real people, real hope
  
  
• A spark to keep going — with a little less grind
