About LINE Monthly Forums
 
  • One of the best ways to find out about our network.
  • An opportunity to speak to volunteers and get a taste of how we work.
  • Usually held on the 2nd Sunday of the month.
  • No charge and no need to book (unless stated otherwise). Simply turn up for the start time.
Format

The forums are fun and usually work something like this:

  • We spend the first half listening to the speaker (or participating in a workshop) and then having open dialogue on the subject of the talk.
  • We spend the second half reflecting on recent activities & any discussion points, and sometimes, where appropriate, we may begin to look at actions we'd like to consider. We usually also set aside a couple of minutes for Resource Cycle.
  • There is often the option of a trip to a local cafe afterwards for those who would like to go.
