Join us for a vibrant morning of discussion and action.
An Open Space event, hosted by local arts organisation Terrestrial in partnership with Frome Town Council.
Every day in Frome, scores of creative people make great things happen. Independent artists and makers are busy painting, writing, sculpting, dancing, designing. And community groups are gathering to share food, dig gardens, teach sports, support young people.
But it’s hard to do all of this. Costs rise, volunteers are stretched, it can be difficult for people to earn a good living, and opportunities aren’t the same everywhere…. so not everyone gets a chance to be part of Frome’s magic. In fact, according to Frome Town Council’s survey last year, more than 60% people in the town don’t feel connected to their neighbourhood.
This event is for everyone who cares about making things happen in Frome.
Everyone is welcome. You don’t need to have been involved in anything before.
We’ll be using ‘Open Space’ to guide this event, which is a way of hosting large meetings so that everyone gets a chance to talk about the issues that are important to them (and nobody gets stuck in conversations they find boring). You can read more about how Open Space Technology works here, though you don’t have to - we’ll make sure everything is explained clearly on the day.
