Changemaker Workshop

Are you ready to embrace the courage, collective spirit, and hope of changemaking?

Join us for a two-day Changemaker Workshop to create a positive, lasting impact on your community. Join a network of changemakers across rural, regional & remote Australia:

As a collective, delve into your region's readiness for change. Explore how change happens, practice how to adapt to change and how to overcome resistance. Become a changemaker, adapt your skills to enable your involvement in creating new and exciting things, managing setbacks and work collectively and purposefully with others.

• Take part in diverse community conversations:
  
•  Understand the local ecosystem; undertake purposeful and inclusive engagement; step into informed and authentic conversations.
  
•  Learn how to have those conversations, suspend judgement and assumptions, and build trust and transparency for connection and diverse relationships.
• Create momentum within your community:
  
•  Unpack what forms and shapes a community.
  
•  Learn how a community can be more inclusive.
  
•  Considering the impacts of drought, trauma, and other events, gain the tools to better support others and balance giving and taking within a community.
• Contribute to and inspire your community's future:
  
•  Explore ideas to shape the future you would like to see for your community.
  
•  Understand the importance of language and the power of storytelling in motivating and mobilising others.
  
•  Learn what makes a good story and how to connect with the hearts and minds of others.

What is included:

•  Delicious, fully catered morning tea and lunch on both days.
  
•  Qualified, engaging, and supportive Facilitators to guide you along your changemaker journey.
  
•  All required stationery and participant resources.
  
•  The opportunity to immerse yourself in a local network of driven, community minded individuals.
