community events

People coming together explore joyous action. With street fairs, music events, stalls, meet and greets, community events, parties and more.

CONNECTING ONLINE

Connecting our community online through: The ‘Take the Jump HUB’ our digital community forum, in various online drop-in calls, events, and training, through sharing our stories on social media, and through joining in-person events online.

CULTURE AND FESTIVALS

TRYING SHIFTS TOGETHER

The shifts can be tried on our own, or together! As a community, a family, group of friends, school class, as a company. You name it! We’ve seen how putting on community Take the Jump events focused on one of the shifts can connect people and bring all sorts of benefits. Here’s some examples…

DRESS RETRO

Clothes swaps, clothing repair cafe’s, second hand sales. A great way to meet others, change up your wardrobe, save money and protect our earth :)

END CLUTTER

Fix stuff together! Repair Cafe’s! Connecting communities, sharing skills, and by getting things fixed saving money! Drop us an email if you’d like help putting one on.

TRAVEL FRESH

Helping each other rely less on private vehicles: Car and lift sharing, bike repair days, community bike rides, school cycle schemes. Any other ideas?

EAT GREEN

Enjoying plant based food together! Plant based cook-in’s, community meals, growing workshops and more.

WHY COMMUNITY IS SO IMPORTANT WHEN TAKING THE JUMP

Communities can showcase how the world could be, what this joyous future looks and feels like.

There are few clear examples of a post-consumer world to inspire people. Communities can model places with less consumption but more care, craft, creativity, comedy, collaboration, connection.

Change is easier and lasts longer when done together.

Having people to share the journey while trying the six shifts helps overcome the many barriers to action. 

Communities can go further.

We can’t put on events on our own. When we come together in the same place over time, share ideas and resources, amazing innovations and energy arise.

People listen to people they know.

By working with community leaders, we can reach beyond the usual suspects, find new perspectives and stories. 

Strengthens community resilience and connection.

By bringing people together and building connections through groups and events.
