At our May event, after Maryam Ghaffari stirred up our souls with her talk on the global theme of #CMCommitment, we had two community minutes speakers sharing some wonderful opportunities to get involved in creative initiatives!

In case you missed them, or just need a little reminder of the details, here’s a quick recap!

1/ Indie Book & Zine Fair Edinburgh - Call for Creative Contributors

The organisers of Edinburgh’s Indie Book & Zine Fair are looking for people who create DIY publications (e.g small press indie books, animated zines, poetry pamphlets etc) to take part in their next event! 

“It’s a grassroots event which has come about from a love of homemade print publications and the idea of connecting like-minded people in person.”

Taking place at the Out of the Blue Drill Hall, Dalmeny Street, Edinburgh, on 21 July 2018, the event will be a great opportunity for independent literature creators and appreciators alike to connect, share, and celebrate the featured expressive mediums. 

If this looks like something you’d love to get involved with, get in touch with event team member Rosalind at rosalind.gibb@gmail.com - and to keep up to date with the event as it takes shape, follow the latest happenings on facebook @tangiblebooks and/or Twitter @tangible_books 

2/ Real Talk - Social Enterprise Calling for Volunteers

As a social enterprise dedicated to mental health storytelling, Real Talk provides the much needed space for all individuals to speak openly about, and listen to, mental health experiences. 

Since the initiative’s founding days, it has gained stellar support, building a positive community of “courageous speakers and curious audience members”. As the success and growth continues, the Real Talk project are now looking to add 3 volunteers to the team. 

To apply or find out more information about this wonderful opportunity, get in touch at hello@realtalkproject.org
