The Adventurous Fellowship - The Chiang Mai Edition
by Skillseed
Join us this December as we take TAF's trisectoral lens to Chiang Mai, uncovering the city's relationship to environmental waste, migrant policies and sustainable and equitable industries! We're so excited to introduce to you some of our amazing and inspiring community partners: from an education foundation that supports refugee students outside the city centre, to a tourism-based social enterprise that seeks to empower hill tribes through Community-Based Tourism, to an elephant sanctuary that provides livelihoods for at-risk women.

TAF Chiang Mai will happen from 8-13 December this year, at a heavily subsidized price of $640 (excl. flights!) thanks to the kind support of the National Youth Fund. The first six sign-ups also qualify for an additional reduced price of $590.

If you're interested to learn more about the itinerary and frameworks behind TAF Chiang Mai, visit http://bit.ly/2P1DyVa !

Hi guys! SOUFRA is premiering 1st & 2nd Sept, and they're looking for volunteer ambassadors.

ABOUT SOUFRA
The woman featured here on the poster is Mariam, who has been in a refugee camp since birth. That refugee camp's about 70 years old! Mariam pulled together a team to start their own small kitchen, but it wasn't long till they found out that their status as refugees denied them of working rights. Slowly but surely, they overcame various political odds, realising their worth, helping their community, inspiring & giving hope to many others.😊 SOUFRA's about celebrating the human spirit of resilience and the power of social enterprise in the community. There will be also a social enterprise market on 1 Sept and that's open to public!

Check out the trailer here:
http://bit.ly/SOUFRAtrailer

VOLUNTEER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Aide-de-camps: You will engage with our VIPs including investors, partners and industry leaders for the premiere and introduce the different social enterprises and our various activities commencing at the PIAZZA.
- Event support: You will have to ensure that our guests have a positive experience inside the Capitol Theatre. You will be assigned different roles such as usher, enterprise market team, or the front of house.

Also, you will get complimentary entry for the movie! If you would like to volunteer, please pm me @ameliaaalim (btw i'm helping out on the 1st!😁)
