We held the first Big Up Festival of Arts and Social Change at The Tetley which was a culmination of months of community building. The festival built networks between creatives, social change-makers and audiences, with the intention of making the voices of change too loud to ignore. In 2023 we also hosted a three day training on ‘The Art of Hosting the Conversations that Matter’ for people, and those in the public sector and third sector interested in facilitating generative conversations that lead to actions and far reaching impact.
