Join your fellow entrepreneurial educators and leaders from across Australia for a special social enterprise day out in Sydney.

9:15AM: Gather at Hyde Park (Archibald Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park)

Coffee in hand, minds open.

We kick off outdoors in the heart of the city, grounding ourselves in purpose, people, and possibility.

10:00AM: The Bread & Butter Challenge

Your first mission.

Dive into the story of The Bread & Butter Project, where baking becomes a pathway to employment and dignity. But this isn’t just a case study.

10:30 AM: She Shapes History: The City Rewritten

Sydney, but not as you know it.

You’ll step into a walking experience that uncovers the hidden stories of the women who shaped this city, leaders, rebels, changemakers.

From Hyde Park to The Rocks, this is storytelling that sticks. Expect perspective shifts. Expect emotion. Expect conversations that matter. Wear comfy shoes!

12:15PM: On the Move

We regroup and travel together across the harbour to our final destination, continuing conversations, connections, and reflections along the way.

1:00PM: The Coal Loader: Connection, Purpose & Action

This is where it all comes together.

Set against one of Sydney’s most stunning harbour views, we land at a living example of sustainability and community innovation.

In partnership with The Freedom Hub:

✨ Incredible food with purpose

✨ Ethical drinks and meaningful conversations

✨ A powerful story from a founder tackling modern slavery

And most important, space to connect, reflect, and translate inspiration into action.

3:00PM: Departures

We’ll get you where you need to go, 3:30 pm airport or 4 pm Little National Hotel, but you won’t be leaving the same.
