In this interactive\, skills-based session\, participants will deepen their understanding of how to create safer\, supportive communities through the application of strategies around boundary-setting\, bystander intervention\, and community conversations\, and how to promote community-wide change through a trauma-informed framework. \n

Beyond curry and/or yum cha\, what do you know about beer and food matching? \nOur panelists\, Jayne Lewis (Full Colour Life\, ex-Two Birds) and Nic Sandery (Molly Rose Brewing) will talk you through all these questions that’s been brewing in your mind. \nBeer producers we’ll taste from include: \n– Molly Rose\n– Stomping Ground\n– Fixation\n– Heaps Normal\n– Hawkers \n… and more! \n  \nTICKETS: \n  \n⇒ Sommeliers Australia Members – $15 + booking fee \n\nTo access the Members priced ticket\, Sommeliers Australia Members login at sommeliers.com.au\, click the ‘View Available Coupons’ button on the dashboard for their UNIQUE ACCESS CODE.
