The Melbourne Campaigners’ Network is pleased to welcome our first interstate sibling – the Brisbane Campaigners’ Network.
Just like MCN the Brisbane Campaigners’ Network will be a regular gathering for campaigners, activists and organisers to discuss ideas, exchange resources and discover new approaches to social change.
BCN is hosted by the Centre for Social Change at their excellent meeting rooms, including outside deck for lovely refreshments and networking.
Spread the word! Details of the first gathering below.
