The Australian launch of the SIDEWALK TALK COMMUNITY LISTENING
PROJECT IS HAPPENING IN PERTH ON THE 22ND SEPTEMBER AT THE PERTH ROYAL
SHOW!Sidewalk Talk started as a non-profit organisation on May 7,
2015. For 2 hours in 12 locations throughout San Francisco,
listeners set up chairs and signs, offering to listen to any passerby
who wanted to be seen and heard. The result was amazing and soon after
a group from Los Angeles, CA asked if they could reproduce it. There
was never an intention for this thing to grow. Every person you meet
at Sidewalk Talk is just like you, someone who believes that human
connection is the way to create healthy humans, healthy politics, and
a healthy world.
Currently, Sidewalk Talk has over 2500 volunteers worldwide and
chapters in 40 cities around the globe. We have grown but will
remain grassroots by design. Our focus is creating an active,
engaged community of volunteers who commit to a regular listening
practice and who connect with each other, not just the people they
listen to.
If you are interested in being a Listener for this event of any future
events we would love to hear from you. Please send us an email:
sidewalktalkperth@outlook.com
All Listeners are will be required to complete a 1-hour online
Listener Training program as a part of their onboarding.
