Virtual happy hour & Learning Exchange for rural cultural workers & connectors
BEYOND THE CLOCK is a monthly online gathering that fosters fellowship, shared learning, and community care for rural connectors and cultural workers. Co-hosted by the Department of Public Transformation and Voices for Rural Resilience, with support from the Rural Assembly, Beyond the Clock invites creative rural rockstars from across the country to share in digital happy hours and learning exchanges that connect and inspire. Join us on the second Tuesday of each month to grapple with the tensions and celebrate the joys of working in and with rural communities. Come and grab a seat at our virtual table!
