FWP International Women's Day Summit

For Wild Places leads the running community into immediate action to protect places of environmental and cultural significance – we do this through our love for sport it’s called Sports Activism!

For Wild Places

Join us as we welcome a range of women to converse on issues facing women in both the running and environmental advocacy space.

At For Wild Places, we see so many women dedicating time, energy and passion into being outstanding advocates for social justice, the environment and equal rights.This International Women’s Day, we want to amplify the voices within the outdoors and trail running community and share these experiences to create open and inspiring dialogue that petitions for a sustainable, positive and empowered future for all.

For Wild Places hopes to lead the running community to immediate action for the protection of wild places. Over the past 12 months we have been blown away by the support of the running and outdoors community in creating a platform that allows people to be better advocates and stewards of the lands upon we love to explore. However within the sports and activism space, we don’t often take time to appreciate the female perspective and experience. Across the globe, women are fighting for environmental and social justice. The women at FWP wanted to take this opportunity to create a platform where women can share their experiences and learn from one another, so together we can become stronger, louder and prouder in standing up for what we believe in.We are also in a unique position at FWP to have relationships with a range of incredible women across the environmental / trail running / advocacy space. Rather than confine these conversations internally, we want to utilize this Summit to amplify the voices of Australian women doing amazing things. We could all do with some inspiration, encouragement and a few laughs to help us navigate the often tiring space of giving a shit.This Summit is a place to celebrate the work women are doing and inspire other women (and good men!) out there to take a stand for what they believe in. We hope this Summit can be the first of many for For Wild Places, as we are certainly stronger together, and there are some incredibly skilled, intelligent, funny and inspirational women out there, who’s voices need to be heard.

We are charging $10 per ticket, so we are able to pay the guests for their time. We understand that environmental and social advocacy often goes unpaid, and by paying our guests for their time, we are able to ensure they are able to continue doing this crucial work.
