We are excited to unveil the lineup of Conversation Cafés for the inaugural Edmonton Resilience Festival!
Conversation Cafés are informal conversations in small groups guided by a facilitator. They are part of the free programming at the Festival, alongside the Free For All activities and Community Connections Fair.
We have previously announced the lineup of ticketed workshops. Tickets for workshop streams tickets are now on sale (edmontonresiliencefestival.eventbrite.ca). Tickets for individual workshops will go on sale January 28th, 2015.
