This will be a participatory 1 hour, bring your lunch and a cuppa conversation session.

“A picture paints a thousand words!” A wonderful saying that allows our minds to explore opportunity through imagination and individual interpretation.

So why not Graphic Harvest more of our meetings, conversations and experience? Together we will discuss the importance of including visuals into our daily work, not only for inclusion, but broadening the participation in conversation that is generated from images. All data needs images and we know that stories stick like glue, especially if you have an image to recall.

We’ll even have a try in our session and YES, anyone can graphic harvest!

BYO paper, markers, pens or pencils.

ANYONE wanting to explore other options for capturing stories and including images in their practice.

Young, old, creatives, non creatives!
Community members and not for profit leaders
Community organisers and their teams
Business leaders and social entrepreneurs
Next generation leaders and other young activists
Department leaders, policy officers and program managers
NDIS directors, team leaders, planners

Fiona Miller - Fiona is a creative conduit with a diverse back ground that includes community development, creative & visual arts, early years, education, bushfire recovery, inclusion, community houses, community gardens and more. Having worked within a variety of organisations/agencies and local governments she has a broad understanding of the diversity of organisational structures.
As a facilitator, graphic harvester or community member, contributing to community for making great places and participating in community led projects that are sustainable are her focus. She loves nothing more than watching people and projects grow and uses creative arts, ABCD and strengths based practices as platforms for discovering and exploring community futures.
Supporting our young people to explore their own place within community is something she sees as particularly important. Everyone deserves to feel safe and be included and we can build relationships and have fun while we do it.
