T-Shaped Talks

I love the enthusiasm and passionate conversations that followed each event and I strongly believe much of the value of T-Shaped Talks is that it's in-person. Unfortunately it does not seem feasible to run the event for now.

A big thank you to those of you that donated to keep T-Shaped-Talks going. Your donations have been passed on to Off The Fence, Brighton a homeless and vulnerable people charity.

If you are interested in learning more please get in touch.

What to expect

Three in-depth talks - Learn and be inspired in talks about local communities that are accessible to everyone.

Conversations over questions - There's plenty of time for you to talk to the speakers and other attendees. Talks are not recorded.

A broad audience - Meet and be inspired by others you might not usually meet.

T-Shaped Talks are inspired by the diverse communities of Brighton & Hove. They are an opportunity to learn from each other and find out what's going on in our city.
