About this event
A safe place for women changemakers (and aspiring women changemakers) to meet one another;
A small-scale gathering where you can actually have intentional conversations with everyone;
A community you show up and participate equally as an agent of change;
A space to exchange stories and find inspirations to bring collective impact;
A tribe you can come back to as your support network and build intergenerational friendships.
This is what this gathering is about. For women changemakers.
On August 10 Sunday afternoon, Carmen Chan of Girls Be Change and Dorothy Lam of Dream Impact are going to team up with published writer Gillian Del Mundo and certified sound meditation healer Carol Lee, to have this special community gathering to connect changemaking, creative writing, and sound healing together. Let's explore our inner creativity and voice to lead change from within.
It is a gathering where everyone shows up as an equal participant, questioning and chatting. No panel. No presentation. No speech. Just intentional conversations.
Come join us on Aug 10 (Sun) for an afternoon to meet other fellow women changemakers and explore your creativity via soundhealing and writing!
What is Women Changemakers Community Series?
The idea began in the summer of 2023 when two changemakers in Hong Kong, Carmen (Girls Be Change) and Dorothy (Dream Impact), questioned and envisioned what an ideal community is. We need a safe place among women changemakers to have organic meetups, intentional conversations and idea exchange with social ease, find inspirations and encouragement from each other, and build authentic friendships and support networks.
The first Women Changemakers Community Gathering was held in Hong Kong on March 8, 2024 at International Women’s Day. Ever since then, Girls Be Change cohosted with 20 (and counting) organizations and gathered over 150 (and counting) women changemakers in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kenya, and Tanzania. With 15+ gatherings around the globe, a vibrant community of global women changemakers was formed and connected virtually to raise questions, exchange ideas, and celebrate wins.
