Some of the best conversations don't happen on a stage. They happen around a dinner table.

Join TEDxCanberra for a unique dining experience where incredible food, meaningful stories and unexpected connections come together for one unforgettable evening.

For one night only, we're partnering with Café Stepping Stone in Dickson for an immersive shared dinner celebrating community, culture and the simple magic of bringing people together.

Our big news is that we are doubling the size of the Stepping Stone Urban Farm in Dickson! This is possible thanks to the Salvation Army, who have agreed to us using more land, and the Snow Foundation who have given us a grant for the urban farm.

Please join us to help us make another 20 garden beds!

For those who came to the last working bee it will be the same process - measuring garden beds, rolling out cardboard, shovelling soil to fill the bed forming frame, mulching with lucerne and forming paths.

Stay for 1 hour or all day, any help will be rewarded with coffee, snacks and big smiles.

Wheelbarrows and shovels will be greatly appreciated.

Now on Mondays as well at Dickson.

Everyone is welcome.
English guidance and assistance from native speakers.
