Special social enterprise meet-up: Reconnecting and collaborating with our Aussie peers (POSTPONED)

***UPDATE***

Unfortunately, this event has been postponed due to illness. We are hoping to reschedule soon, if this is possible, and will be in touch.  Thanks in advance for your understanding.

---------------------------------------------------

With the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) just across the pond this year, this presents an exciting and opportune moment for the Aotearoa New Zealand social sector as we start to reconnect and rebuild our communities after a challenging couple of years.

Together with the SEWF team and the 2022 local co-host White Box Enterprises, Ākina is hosting a series of events to discuss how we can leverage the forum and share best practices in areas such as social procurement and ecosystem development.

These events will give us a unique opportunity to have input into the 2022 SEWF program. To ensure we’re covering what matters most to our community, we want to hear from you.
