How can urban development deliver more meaningful cultural and social impact? Relative Projects will explore this question through a temporary restaurant and conversation series at their studio event space in Collingwood.
Each evening will feature a talk by inspiring industry leaders from design, development, and impact-driven businesses, who will share their experience over dinner—a three-course cultural immersion created with social enterprise Free to Feed. Ticket sales support the training of people seeking asylum to gain experience and employment in the hospitality sector.
