What can we share and learn from each other in times of crisis?
Join us at the Community Wellbeing Space, where we will collectively gather to make a meal and discuss ways in which communities and individuals create possibilities in times of crisis. This event is the beginning of a durational socially engaged collaboration between curator Nour Osseiran from TAP (Temporary Art Platform) in Lebanon and CWC members, with a particular focus on ongoing socio-political and economic challenges in Beirut and Edinburgh.
Whilst this is a drop-in event, we encourage attendees to arrive for 12 o’clock to participate with the collective meal and shared discussions. Everyone is welcome. Free event.

About the Community Wellbeing Collective:
The Community Wellbeing Collective (CWC) is a growing group of people from, and connected to, Wester Hailes – practising collective wellbeing, mutual care, responsibility, vulnerability, and solidarity. The CWC runs a Community Wellbeing Space by and for the people which is a space for respite from an unjust world in which to hold public imagination and create action towards a more just world. They build belonging and community, and create access to wellbeing as a radical act. You will meet them in a moment of reimagining as they recently needed to leave the space they had been occupying for the last two years, and are carving out community ownership within private property, transforming a new space into a purpose built community wellbeing space and social sculpture.
