Community Organising Workshop

Are you passionate about social justice and addressing racism in Georges River?  If you answered yes, this workshop is for you. 

Join like-minded community members and organisations who are eager to promote diversity, encourage social cohesion, and call out discrimination in our community by attending this free workshop on 18 July 2024. 

This workshop equips participants with the skills to build and empower their own communities to challenge systems of oppression and work towards justice on the issues that impact them. This program is focused on drawing on lived experience and mobilising and strengthening our own communities.

This workshop is facilitated by Hue, a social justice organisation established in response to a desperate need for training that challenged systems of oppression and the underlying issues that detrimentally impact people of colour in Australia.

 Topics explored:

• What is community organising & what are community organising values
• What is solidarity? 
• Challenging scarcity mindset
• What are some pitfalls that movements/groups can fall into
• Collective Liberation
• Power dynamics in organising groups
• Community care
