My Tribe Jam, a global gathering where creative innovators unite to build solutions to real-world problems. Open to anyone who wants to join, these Jams bring together designers, tech specialists, business professionals, students, academics, and entrepreneurs ready to dive into a creative, intense race against the clock.
Each My Tribe Jam takes place during our My Tribe Months, where participants form teams to tackle a secret project designed to address real-world issues. Whether you’re coding, strategising, designing, or bringing a unique perspective, this is your space to connect with like-minded creators, brainstorm fresh ideas, and co-create solutions that resonate with our community’s needs.
It’s not just about collaboration; it’s about empowerment and impact. My Tribe Jam is a space to let your talents shine, develop new skills, make new friends and make a difference alongside others passionate about creating change. Join us, and let’s build a future that reflects our voices, perspectives, and goals
