Community Leadership During Times of Urban Renewal

Dear Groundswell supporters,

As discussed at our last meeting,  to finish the year off, instead of another steering group meeting, we have organised a special free workshop targeting local NGO‘s, community groups and community leaders to explore the topic of leadership during times of urban renewal.

This is an important topic as we wrestle with our individual roles, as a coalition, as individual agencies, as local residents, and/or community group’s members during the urban renewal of Redfern, Waterloo and surrounds.

Below are details of the guest facilitator who  has extensive experience in the subject of social leadership, -   attached is the poster with details of the event

Please pass on to your networks, websites, notice boards, and
