Social Impact Book Club (APAC-friendly!)

Announcing that our online 📚 SOCIAL IMPACT BOOK CLUB IS LIVE! 📚 and you're invited!

 

Designed to let you connect, learn, and discuss the "why" behind the "what" of social impact, our online book club is open to any and all looking to learn more about this area.


We are very excited to say that our first session is now LIVE to register (link below) for Sept 12, and we will be discussing Lean Impact by Ann Mei Chang 🤩

The format we have chosen does NOT rely on you needing to have read the book each time, you are still able to attend, gather the key learnings, and participate in the Q&A/ discussion to increase practitioner knowledge.

Format below:
- Fully online book club, meets every 2 months (with Australian summer break)
- Books announced prior to sessions to allow time to purchase & read
- Each session has a volunteer to lead it - volunteer picks the book (must be social impact aligned, non-fiction)
- First 5-10 mins of the meeting is a casual chat/icebreaker
- The volunteer will present for 15 (ish) mins on the book - key learnings, takeaways, their thoughts (this can be as structured/unstructured as you wish)
- Other participants are encouraged to add questions into the chat
- Volunteer presenter will answer questions/ start the conversation from there

Please register if you are free to attend, and please also let us know if you are interested in hosting a future session with a Social Impact text of your choice:

(PS if people like this idea but are keen for a US-friendly edition, please let us know in the comments!)
