A creative problem-solving event where the Rhodes community teams up with local charities to identify and innovative solutions to real-world challenges

This initiative brings together the Rhodes community and local charities to address real-world challenges. Charities have been invited to share pressing issues they are currently facing, and it’s up to us - working in dynamic, collaborative teams - to brainstorm innovative solutions that could help advance their work.

We’re delighted to welcome Alice Richard from Co-CREATE ImpACT as our facilitator for the evening. Using the LEGO® Serious Play® methodology, Alice will guide us through an interactive process designed to spark creativity and fresh perspectives. This hands-on approach ensures that everyone, regardless of background or experience, can contribute unique insights. All you need is an open mind and a desire to turn ideas into impact.

We are thrilled to advise that Quest for Learning and Oxford Hub will be taking part.

Since 1995, Quest for Learning have worked in primary schools across Oxfordshire, using their literacy and maths programmes to boost confidence and skills, closing the education disadvantage gap and ultimately improving the life chances of thousands of children.

Oxford Hub are the hub of community organising in Oxford, working together to build a better Oxford by tackling inequalities of health, education and opportunity. They run volunteering programmes and facilitate community organising to equip, empower and support people to tackle inequalities with a focus on where the need and opportunity to make a difference is greatest.

Whether you’re a problem-solving enthusiast, a creative thinker, or simply passionate about supporting the local community, we would love to have you join us!
