Innovating their way through meetings:

At a recent hybrid meeting our Incoming & Outgoing Curatorship Team mapped out opportunities for the Stellies Hub to have maximum impact during the ongoing pandemic.

Yesterday was an exciting day for our hub
We held our hub elections with the candidates having an opportunity to inform the hub members of their vision for the next curatorship term which was followed by the hub voting.

After the election we hosted an internal workshop conducted by hub member focusing on active citizenry.
The workshop was engaging with hub members and friends of the hub asking questions, providing their views abs offering ideas how to inform citizens of their roles and rights. It was informative and great space to learn resulting in the discussion for follow on discussions on other topics related to active citizenry.

As citizens it is important that we know our rights, our roles and how we can effectively contribute to improving our communities.

We are excited for the next workshops within this series.
