Webinars from Amos Trust

Seasons 1–7

From climate change to cooking, from politics to pop.

During the first lockdown of 2020, we thought it was more important than ever to continue talking about the issues our partners faced, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, through a series of free weekly webinars.

“I just wanted to say that I love the combination of reality and the harsh truths mixed with the seeds of hope that Amos always has at its in-person and online events.”

Now that Season 7 is complete, we wanted to remind you that Seasons 1-6 are still available to watch and listen to again. Click below for the complete back catalogue, featuring hour-long conversations with Amos’s partners and friends. The webinars cover all aspects of our work and more — from climate change to cooking, from politics to pop.

 

If you would like to receive news of all future Amos online events direct to your inbox, please sign-up to our Words of Hope Enews.
