Calling all Edmonton change makers from the Non Profit, Government, Entrepreneur, Corporate and Design Sectors. We at THRIVE and weavin: community driven design, believe it is time to address social change differently, to collaborate and come together to create innovative ways to foster positive social impact within our shared community. For the boundaries between Government, Non Profit, Corporations, Entrepreneurs, Designers and the community to dissolve. We know those of you in Corporations want to have a positive impact on societies most pressing social issues. Those in the Non Profit sector can't do it alone and continually face limited resources. Those in Government want to change policy and our local Entrepreneurs and Designers are ready to inject their creativity to provide solutions. THRIVE, weaving and Startup Edmonton want to bring you all together for a morning of shared insights, participatory dialogue and creative collaboration at this dynamic event!
