description: We live in a time characterised by both opposition and opportunity. As a society, we often identify ourselves in opposition to others, and as such, miss out on those opportunities that matter.

# The Social Impact Festival 2016
By Spacecubed 23 August 2018
The [Social Impact Festival 2016](http://www.socialimpactfestival.org/), hosted by the [Centre for Social Impact](http://www.csi.edu.au/about-csi/) and [The University of Western Australia](http://www.business.uwa.edu.au/school/csi), aims to quell the notion of opposition and amplify and accelerate the ideas, organisations and collaborations that are making Western Australia a better place for all.
Running a diverse range of events from the 20th to the 27th July 2016 at various Perth locations, the Social Impact Festival will share and diffuse cutting-edge knowledge, strengthen and connect social impact networks and increase the capacity to make WA better for all.
Spacecubed are one of many [partners](http://www.socialimpactfestival.org/sponsors/) of the week-long event and will be holding the following three events:
1. Thursday 21st July, 9.30am: Workshop: Social Enterprise in Action
2. Friday 22nd July, 12.00pm: Workshop: Using Emotion to Demonstrate Impact
3. Wednesday 27th July 9.30am: Workshop: Bold Experiments to Catalyse 21st Century Organisations
All of the events held at the festival will support one of four themes, these are;
1. Creating social impact: entrepreneurship, innovation and design,
2. Demonstrating social impact: research and evaluation
3. Funding social impact: investment and philanthropy
4. Lead social impact: organisation, collaboration and systems
With a strong focus on making Western Australia better for all, the Social Impact Festival will bring together people from business, government, community and not-for-profit organisations, Indigenous organisations and enterprise, unions and social enterprises to co-create, learn, connect and build capacity to make change matter.
Check out the event programme **[here](http://www.socialimpactfestival.org/program/)** and register your interest - if you're passionate about establishing positive change in WA, this is the event for you.
