This Collaborative Practices Salon is an experiment in building community, bringing together interested people for open conversation, tailored activities and shared reflections on the practices of collaboration. Each Salon is convened around a theme that connects with collaborative practice, and a different creative form that engages the chosen theme in generative and convivial ways.

The Salons are open to anyone across Canberra and ANU local areas. You may be an experienced collaborator or collaboratively curious – everyone is welcome. We also encourage you to invite your collaborators and colleagues to the Salon. Please ask them to book a place using the above link

The Collaborative Practices Salon series is an initiative of Cobeo, an ANU-supported, impact-led and research-backed initiative which supports people and groups to navigate collaboration in action, helping people work together more effectively and address complex challenges through shared action. Cobeo has been running the Salon series since 2023. Cobeo is thrilled to be running this Salon in partnership with 2026 CHL Immersia.

If you have any accessibility needs, please contact us in advance of the event. Please also drop us a line if you have any other questions (cobeo.cass@anu.edu.au). We hope to see you at the Salon!

Best wishes
