The Constellation Project and RMIT University’s Innovation Catalyst are pleased to invite you to join us for a day of learning and discussion on the practice and impact of lived experience inclusion in efforts to address homelessness.

The Constellation Project is a unique and ambitious collaboration with a vision to end homelessness in a generation. By combining our knowledge, resources, networks and influence, we seek to generate practical solutions to improve outcomes for people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

RMIT’s Innovation Catalyst is a multidisciplinary team delivering applied and inclusive innovation initiatives. Our collaborations are activating a growing impact ecosystem to support RMIT’s vision for a social innovation precinct in Melbourne’s City North, aimed at solving the major challenges of our time.

Over the past two years, Constellation has been collaborating with RMIT’s Innovation Catalyst to clarify, develop and share our approach to lived experience inclusion and practice approaches. Together we invite you to join us as we share key learnings from our partnership, and hear about promising practice and research from others working in the space. The event will be in person and online on the 11th of December 2023.

Across the day we will:

Share key insights from our learning partnership with RMIT’s Innovation Catalyst on Constellation’s practice, and new research on the impact of lived experience contributions to Constellation’s work.
Explore the role and value for different stakeholders of embedding lived experience inclusion and engagement in efforts to address homelessness.
Identify and explore areas for further practice development
Network and understand how we can collectively better scaffold opportunities for individuals with lived experience in addressing and ending homelessness.

A more detailed program and speakers will be shared in the coming weeks.

This is a free event. A virtual 'live-stream' option of selected sessions is available for those unable to attend in person. Please register for either in person or virtual.

Registrations close at 10am AEDT on Wednesday 6th December.
