CSA networks its members by locality, in Chapters. Chapters may take initiatives in empowering and representing civil society as they see fit.
As a general rule, Chapters will undertake some or all of the following:
- Shared meals and social opportunities
- Shared digital-free times and spaces
- Sharing home-grown and home-made produce
- Conversation practice in English and other languages
- Voice for local volunteers
- Book club and study circles
- Public forums
You are invited to participate in these activities through your Chapter and contribute your ideas, leadership and networking skills.
Each Chapter is run by a Convenor and an Organising Team. If you would like to act as a Chapter Convenor in your area, or be part of a Chapter Organising Team, please let us know.
To participate, join CSA and indicate your interest and how you wish to contribute.
