Minor Works Mondays!
2025-03-03 10:00 - 11:00, 2025-03-10 10:00 - 11:00, 2025-03-17 10:00 - 11:00
Drop-in to The Pear for Minor Works Mondays, weekly from 10am!
What is the Minor Works Program?
The Minor Works Program is all about turning cool ideas into awesome community projects! It’s like a fun journey where you take an idea and watch it grow step by step, building connections and learning new things along the way. We’re building easy tools, templates, and training to use, either self-guided or supported by a Project Guide.
The goal? To turn “wouldn’t it be great if…” into “check out what we did together!”
Want to learn more? Have an idea you’d like to discuss? Have some time and skills you could use to support a neighbour with their project? Drop-in for Minor Works Mondays to chat further 🙂
