A Sunday afternoon to chat with women changemakers about climate action!
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 every month as your support network and build authentic friendship.


This is what this gathering is about. For women changemakers.


Sometimes - for me, it’s most of the time - we feel overwhelmed by how vast and complicated the global climate issue is and don’t even know what our role is, where to start, or who to collaborate with. I feel you. In our September gathering, we are cohosting with Clarissa and Miki of Women and Climate and bringing 15 women changemakers who care for climate together. There will be no formal panel or presentation - let’s have a chat on a Sunday afternoon over a glass of wine and a paint brush!


We are inviting you to bring your own bottle (alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink) or snacks to join the art jamming session with us on Sep 29 Sunday 3pm in Dream Impact @Lai Chi Kok. It will be a collaborative art jamming, and collaborative discussion about climate action.


What is Changemaker Community Series?

The idea of the Changemaker Community Shoulderies started when Dorothy (Dream Impact) and Carmen (Girls Be Change) met last year, questioning and envisioning what an ideal community is and why we need to gather (so desperately). 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. It is a gathering where everyone shows up as an equal participant, questioning and chatting. No panel. No presentation. No speech. Just intentional conversations.


About Women and Climate
