BIRMINGHAM WEEKENDER

I had the exciting opportunity to move from being a visitor to working behind the scenes, with the creative partnership team making my contribution to the festival, with logistics, programming, scheduling, budget management, and marketing. Leveraging my deep connections with community groups, partners, and leaders, I strengthened existing relationships, introduced new groups and collaborated with the incredible festival team to design an inclusive and enriching experience for all community members.

My outreach efforts focused on understanding the needs of community members, building trust, and creating tailored, fun, and inclusive sessions. By ensuring their visits were personalised and the festival provided a welcoming, engaging, and relaxed environment, I aimed to leave a lasting impression. This approach not only enhanced the festival experience but also fostered meaningful relationships for the future while helping the team grow in their skills, knowledge, and understanding of community engagement and cohesion.
