We can’t believe it’s already been almost two weeks since the Art of Mass Gatherings in San Juan. We’re still thinking about some of our favourite moments and stories from our day together.
If you haven’t already, please take a few minutes this week to share your feedback to help us improve these events for future participants. Here is the event survey (in Spanish or in English) if you were able to join us. If you registered but did not attend, let us know why.
We’ll keep the event resource portal open at bit.ly/resilienciaPR where you can reference session slides and learn how to connect with our partner organizations, speakers, and fellow participants.
Happy holidays!
Thank you for being a part of the Art of Mass Gatherings in San Juan! We hope those of you who joined us enjoyed the event and left as energized as we did.
We would love to hear your feedback so we can make these events the best that they can be. Please fill out our event survey (in Spanish or in English). If you registered but did not attend, we’d really appreciate it if you could take 1 minute of your time to let us know why.

Your Art of Mass Gatherings team
Join us for the Art of Mass Gatherings at Taller Comunidad La Goyco! This free multi-day learning and networking symposium is for event organizers, artists, emergency professionals, and anyone else who hosts large gatherings of people. It utilizes local infrastructure and the annual La Goyco holiday party as a hands-on classroom for elevating the safety, safety, accessibility, sustainability, and community responsiveness of events, and to build resilience in our communities. Participants are invited to share their own experience and expertise throughout. You'll leave with concrete practices and resources to increase safety, sustainability, accessibility, and community engagement within your own work.
Workshops will be held in English and Spanish with live translation where needed.
Event highlights include:
Workshops about working safely with solar power
Training on how to preserve important personal documents and arts and cultural archives against disaster
How asset mapping can help strengthen community resilience
... and more to be announced!
