This day brings together entrepreneurs, artists, organizers, and everyone who challenges dominant narratives with their work, art, stories, and presence. From testing out business ideas rooted in lived experience to confronting border violence through storytelling, we will allow ourselves to reflect, learn, and imagine what hope looks and feels like.

11:30 - 13:30 | UP Collective Testing Event: Co-Creating Refugee-Driven Ventures
