"It has been my delight to join a handful of Extreme Hangout Locals in the past 8 months, watching, listening, and encouraging them all makes me believe we can change the world by joining up, celebrating and empowering one community at a time across every corner of the world. Together we can imagine and build the future of our dreams - what are we waiting for, let's do it!" Amber Nuttall, Founder and Creative Director, Extreme Hangout
How does an Extreme Hangout Local work?
Extreme Hangouts are designed to take place in any great location from a school, community centre, workplace, town hall, local museum, beach bar or mountain top, we hope they might grow from a modest start to an annual event in your neighbourhood.
Â
They are organised by local hosts who are climate advocates with a passion for the future, driven to get things done, with an enthusiasm to engage their communities and share great stories.
A framework for inspiration, engagement and fun!
The format is similar to TedX, where Extreme delivers the brand, a manual, a framework, overarching themes, speaker advice, media platform access, content editing and distribution. The local hosts organise and run the event with the Extreme team on hand to offer guidance and network connections as you prepare.
Â
We want these events to be as fun, engaging and inspiring as possible so encourage our hosts to work with great storytellers. We also want them to be infused with local culture, whether that be music, dance, sport, food, fashion, art workshop or performance of any kind.
Join a global movement with purpose!
