Sydney students and recent grads – book now for the third edition of The Vine, an evening of fast-paced exchange and lively, intimate tales of challenges, successes and learning to thrive. Book now!

What would you like to ask experienced practitioners about navigating equity and the world of work?

The Vine is our version of speed mentoring, an opportunity for students and recent graduates to connect with established practitioners for quick conversations and engaging story telling. Conceived and developed by Claire Oh, each session is led by a graduate from the hosting practice with support from Parlour.

As the new generation and the future of the industry, it is crucial for students and recent graduates to understand the ongoing struggles with life balance and career progression, and to learn about tactics and strategies for navigating personal situations and possibilities for advocating for systemic change.

The Vine aims to create a safe space to discuss and share the challenges architects and practitioners face today in relation to diversity. Through intimate mentoring conversations, this event aims to initiate and foster ongoing relationships and a community of support, and bring light to peoples’ stories.

The June 2024 session of The Vine is supported by CULT, who are generously providing comfortable, stylish furniture to ensure our mentors and mentees are relaxed and at ease for these important conversations!
