Heart Talk Porty Orientation

Heart Talk Porty is a marketplace of conversations about the future of Portobello. Coming out of the pandemic, facing multiplying crises how do we draw on the resourcefulness of the people living in Portobello so everyone is included in a caring community now and into the future? Action Porty is planning a large scale, community-led conversation so we can all help shape the future of Porty.

We’re inviting local people, groups, organisations and venues to host discussions about the future they want to see in a tapestry of inclusive conversations on the weekend of the 9/10th October. Our event on the 18th of September is a time to introduce you to the idea of Heart Talk Porty and help you think about what kind of conversations you’d like to see happen on the 9/10th of October.

Whether you’re keen on affordable housing, meaningful work and education, community-friendly transport, creative arts or sport, inclusive decision making, provision for youth or elders, mental health, green and growing spaces etc… you may want to get involved either by hosting or joining in with one or more conversations.
