Community Building 101: THW

At We Create Space, we see the transformative power of community every single day. For organisations striving to build a more inclusive, engaged, and thriving workplace, we believe community-building isn’t just a solution. It’s the foundation.

Our new series, ‘Community Building 101,’ will explore key factors for successful community development. Each session will provide actionable strategies & tools to promote effective change, collective learning, workplace culture & shared values. We will also discuss how grassroots principles can be applied in corporate settings, through three key pillars: Inclusion, Wellbeing, & Leadership.

Community Building 101: Inclusion | Trans+ History Week, 05-11 May

Our first session is in collaboration with QueerAF & Trans+ History Week - a trans-led grassroots nonprofit initiative, calendar event & movement dedicated to giving us ‘the Trans+ history lesson we never had’ through storytelling & content created by Trans+ campaigners, historians, creatives & professionals. With the core messaging ‘Trans+ people have always been here’, it's approaching its second year, from 5 - 11 May, following a successful launch in 2024 with national media coverage, global engagement & a community that felt seen & celebrated.

Our speakers include:

- Marty Davies (she/they), Founder

- Gray Burke-Stowe (he/him), Research Lead

Hosted by Sabah Choudrey (he/they)

This event will celebrate the launch of the recently released Trans+ History Week 2025 Workbook, which was produced by QueerAF who this year mentored five Trans+ creatives to produce it. The workbook empowers, inspires, and help organisations create their own content and events. You’ll hear about it’s historical lessons, as well as tangible insights & learnings around queer leadership and the importance of key considerations like ongoing education and research, collecting data & feedback, to build inclusive communities.
