take the jump events

Anyone can put on a Take the Jump event!

With our communities, friends, colleagues or networks. Maybe you want to give a talk to you colleagues, or you are part of a local group who’d like to put on an event for members of your wider community? Or maybe you’d like to offer practical help to local people in making sustainable changes?

There have already been a wide range of Take the Jump events such as, talks, stalls, workshops, community fairs, film nights, clothes swaps, plant based cook-ins, repair shops and more.

Below are resources to inspire and help with different types of event.

Posters

Posters - We have many beautifully designed posters that you can download and print. Available in many different sizes, and for different purposes, some focus on the shifts, others on the Foundations, others on how to contact and engage with Take the Jump, and others are mainly just beautiful artwork to brighten up your space.

Stalls and community fairs

Images and Flyers - Lots of supplementary graphics and images are available for use at events and online. Take the Jump flyers for printing and handing out at events.

Game night

Take the Jump has its own boardgame that people can get together to play. The game and all the information you need to play it can be found here!

Repair shops

Make your much-loved appliances, furniture, clocks, watches, bikes, clothes, and tools last much longer, and learn how to repair them from experts who are delighted to share their knowledge and experience with others. Here’s a link with lots of resources and examples: https://www.repaircafeaotearoa.co.nz/

Clothes swaps

A great way to bring people together and use unwanted clothes in your community. One person’s trash is another person's treasure! Here’s a guide to organising one.

Film nights

A great way to have a low-key gathering with a purpose is to put on a film night in a local space. You can watch a program, film, or documentary related to sustainable change, and then have time together to discuss what the film brought up for you.

For ideas for films related to the seven shifts, check out the ‘How-to’ guides for each shift, towards the end each of them includes a list of films, documentaries, books, podcasts, and TED talks that you could use for your session. All seven can be found on the Help with the Seven Shifts page.
