Melbourne SOUP #5
Event description
Melbourne SOUP is a space where we discover new ways of thinking, share ideas, and express compassion for causes. From individuals, to community groups, social enterprises and charities, SOUP is a gathering of good causes, good food and good people.
Attendees pay $15 and hear 4 presentations on ideas or projects that address a social or environmental issue. Everyone then enjoys a bowl of soup and some live music, while voting for one of the presentations. The presenter who receives the most votes takes home the majority of the ticket money raised, and returns to the next SOUP event to update us on their progress.
$10 from every ticket goes into the pot of money for one of the presenters, and the other $5 goes towards SOUP's operation.
THE FIFTH MELBOURNE SOUP IS TAKING PLACE AT YOUTHWORX, A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE BASED IN BRUNSWICK.
Please note: this event has a maximum capacity of 100 people, and we expect to sell out, so grab your tickets ASAP!

About our host Youthworx:
Youthworx is a youth media social enterprise that trains and employs young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in creative and commercial media production. They believe that creativity is to the spirit what food and shelter is to the body and that as much as we need a roof over our head and food on the table we also need to be creatively and purposefully engaged. Our core goal is to support youth who are ‘at risk’ of homelessness. We do this by providing appropriate training options and dignified workplace opportunities.
