Global Stitch up is a creative hub based at Cultural Conversations where we want women from diverse backgrounds to:

• Feel safe and empowered.
• Upskill but also learn from each other’s cultural traditions.
• Engage in conversation and make new friends.
• Gain business independence and responsibility.
• Feel motivated.

Our current group welcomes over 20 women from India, Colombia, Japan, Chile, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Thailand and Singapore.
We are delighted to partner with the ‘Hands up for Hospice’ May fundraiser. Our headbands have been made from a variety of fabric
including recycled sarees, kimono, batik, sarong, scarves and fabric from West Africa.

All profits will go towards continuing to provide a holistic approach to high quality compassionate palliative care with dignity and respect for all cultures by Nelson Tasman Hospice.

This event is taking place throughout the festival.
