FORM

Take one hour each month to reflect, discuss and help create change in PERTH. Join a community of ‘urban thinkers’ for a free forum exploring topics such as planning, development, sustainability and community. This is PERThour.

PERTHour is a discussion forum designed to broaden our perspectives on urban issues. Presenters talk for twenty minutes with oodles of time for questions. The program is specifically designed to be interactive, intimate and enjoyable with short presentations followed by questions & discussion time. Note that places are limited.

The first session begins THIS FRIDAY with special guest Charles Landry.

Green Drinks is an international movement of environmental professionals and 'green' individuals meeting up for informal sessions every two months. Green Drinks is mostly for people working on environmental issues, but anyone can come - people from environment groups, business, government, academia and as individuals.

Green Drinks are also Freeform. There is generally no agenda or theme, Green Drinkers mingle and share insights and provoke and exasperate and inspire and delight each other. There are moments of serendipity and a lot of 'oh, if you are interested in X then I must introduce you to that person over there who knows all about it'... All kinds of people come to Green Drinks and this is what makes for the interesting interactions.

The Perth Green Drinks are run by local designer and lecturer Wilma van Boxtel. The next event is on the 10th November at 6pm at the UWA Club.
