Are you a group doing amazing things for your community? Come to Cityhive THIS FRIDAY for our GeroSoup – Pledge for Goodness and “share the goodness” you are doing in your community!
The Goodness Festival 2017 was created to inspire and engage more than 3000 people in science, sustainability and innovation engagement activities through a week-long festival of activities. We have specific purposes aligned with National Science Week, Pollinators and Scinapse strategies.
Goodness Festival 2017 runs from August 12th to August 20th and has many exciting events lined up already; Astrophotography exhibition, ‘Inspiring Women in Science’ breakfast with Dr Rowena Ball, Ministry of Data Hackathon, a Prehistoric Aquarium, Science Communication workshops, many guest speakers and guided tours of ‘secret spaces’.
GeroSoup is an innovative event that crowdfunds support for local innovations and ideas. This GeroSoup, Pollinators are targeting local community groups to talk about the work they are currently doing to spread the Goodness in their community.
Whether you are a sports group, charity, animal rescue, dance group, arts group, school group or something else – we want to know about what you are doing for your community. Pollinators invites you to come and speak about your local group while learning about others.
Every person in the room not only hears about great ideas but can also pledge $$ to each of these inspiring community groups.
The meal, venue and event is FREE thanks to our partners, while the $20 you bring is yours to allocate to the community groups you want to support on the night.

We look forward to seeing you there!
