Bringing Queer perspectives to an international audience at the Festival of Consciousness in Barcelona. This year We Create Space partnered with The Festival of Consciousness in Barcelona to deliver three events as part of the festival's annual programme. The Festival of Consciousness is a non-profit association made up of entities and people who promote the transformation of consciousness in the world through genuine collaboration. They aim to foster human evolution through transformation, knowledge, discernment, and self-exploration. Aligned with our mission to Learn, Connect and Grow, we crafted our events for FoC with the aim of exposing their audience to the new ideas and fresh perspectives that our Queer lens can provide - an approach we have honed through our events and consultancy work with over 180 businesses across the globe . WCS CEO and Founder Michael Stephens delivered an inspiringly candid and vulnerable talk, sharing his own story of burnout after years of climbing the corporate ladder and how this experience led to him changing career paths to champion wellbeing and self-leadership for the Queer Community. We also brought two WCS staples to FoC in the form of a Queer Speed Networking event and an invigorating panel discussion on the business of inclusion featuring speakers from our global speaker collective.

Building connections amongst LGBTQ+ community memners and allies at the Barcelona Expat Life Job Fair. This year We Create Space was invited to participate in the 10th edition of Barcelona Job Fair by Mirjam Maarleveld , founder of Barcelona Expat Life , with the goal to bring more diversity and inclusion to the job fair event. The job fair welcomes over 1500 attendees each year and helps connect expats with leading companies, explore job opportunities, and get valuable advice on topics like relocation and professional development. This year it was held at The Social Hub Barcelona in Poblenou. Aligned with our mission to Learn, Connect and Grow, we crafted a new unique version of our Queer Speed Networking event series, allowing LGBTQ+ professionals and allies to better connect with each other. We welcomed WCS Programme Director and wellbeing coach Ora Özer to open the session, where they taught participants about active listening and how to be open minded and attentive even in the fast pace of a speed networking session. Ora offered a grounding session and then participants had an hour of speed networking where they could exchange information and build new connections.   Photos by Kiana Maria While you're here...
