Read the headlines and hope can feel like a luxury we can no longer afford. But there is something countercultural about choosing to hope in 2026. Join us for the final Voice Notes of the year: Hope in Hard Times, a frank and uplifting panel conversation exploring the power of hope through the lenses of humanitarianism, social enterprise and environmental stewardship. This is not about pretending things are fine or looking away.

When: Wednesday 2 September, 5:30pm – 7:30pm

Where: Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace, Cremorne
