sportspeople, artists, community leaders and local characters give their personal and inspiring anecdotes about resilience and bouncing back.

each speaker presents 15 slides for 15 seconds apiece.

Be entertained in record time!

the history of forums, where ideas, philosophies, politics and big picture thinking are discussed and shared can be traced back to ancient romans and Greeks and further. More recently festivals of ideas have become big city tourist ventures and in the digital age we can log on to a teD talk or

podcast anytime to get our fill of “challenging” and “dangerous” concepts.

a common element that makes all of these presentations digestible is the art of good story telling. a truly good story teller can portray a lived experienced whilst sharing dangerous and challenging

ideas with humour and profundity that touches the listener on a visceral level.

15 @ Mannum introduces these notions of the grand and big, the profound and visceral to a regional town in South australia.

the curators have collected speakers from sportspeople, artists, community leaders and local characters. these people have spent time thinking about their personal connection to the topic

resilience, under the theme of bounce and are ready to share with you a story, a thought, some ideas.

tonight we are celebrating the art of public speaking, storytelling and yarning, in a slightly different way, where each speaker presents 15 slides for 15 seconds apiece. We hope you’ll be entertained

and inspired in record time!
