Reflecting on our Inclusive and Accessible project
For our inclusive and accessible project, instead of focusing on numbers, we’ve been focused on meeting real needs through place-based, values-led workshops.
Conflict management sessions
In Wardell we've held 2 conflict management sessions, where participants explored how to map community conflict and take gentle first steps toward healing and resolution. This feedback says a lot:
“I didn’t expect to feel this much relief. Just naming the tension in our community felt like a release.”
Jubullum community sessions
As we've shared before, we've been honoured to be invited into the Jubullum community, a small Aboriginal village near Tabulam. Rather than counting numbers, we’re measuring the value of meeting people where they are, staying flexible and adaptable in our tools and approaches, and ensuring the work is shaped by the community and what matters most to them.
Disability disaster resilience sessions
We've consulted with carers, support workers, and those living with disability, listening to real stories and needs. We’re now pulling all of this together into a series of workshops that will roll out in Ballina, Byron, Lismore and Tweed from October onwards.
