The Changemaker workshop, facilitated by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation under the Future Drought Fund’s Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought Initiative, will be held in Rochester in March.
The workshop aims to foster self-awareness, community engagement, resilience, leadership skills, and the ability to create positive change while considering diverse perspectives and community wellbeing.
Run in partnership with Lead Loddon Murray, these workshops are open to individuals who have a strong desire to drive meaningful change within their community, an interest in finding innovative solutions for complex challenges, a commitment to exploring new approaches for building a thriving community, and an interest in driving local action to prepare for drought effectively.
“The Australian Rural Leadership Foundation has delivered over 126 leadership programs in the last 30 years, dedicated to building thriving rural, regional and remote communities,” ARLF chief executive Matt Linnegar said.
“Just over the past three years, we have run leadership programs in over 25 communities across the country building local leadership capacity and networks to bring new understanding, perspective and skills to move forward.
“This Changemaker workshop empowers individuals who wish to make a real difference in their communities by providing them with skills in assessing their region’s readiness for change, positive change agency, purposeful engagement and storytelling to shape communities.
“We believe that through collaboration and purposeful engagement, positive change is not only possible but also achievable.”
The Rochester workshop will be held from 8.30am to 4.30pm on Thursday and Friday, March 13 and 14, at the Rochester Community House, 43/45 MacKay St, Rochester.
The workshop is fully subsidised with catering included across both days. Registrations close either when fully booked or seven days before the workshop.
