Had a notice from Caro Jende about this event called ‘Engage Me’. I first met Caro (she works at Youth Arts Queensland) at the end of 07 when I did an exhibition in Transit Lounge which is on the same level as Youth Arts Queensland in the Judith Wright Centre. But I no longer am active in exhibitions but it is great to retain ties and thus received a call from Caro about this event. So I will be there to represent Brisbane Creative Industries and creative industries entrepreneurship for:
Engage Me
Making a difference differently
A one-day speakers forum exploring innovative approaches to engaging and working with volunteers and the community
What are ways young leaders and social entrepreneurs are working to make a difference in our communities?
How are they engaging and working with people differently both on-line and off-line?
How do we invite people in to participate and engage with us in making a difference?
How can we build identity and ownership within our community groups and social change initiatives?
How do we build momentum and maximise our impact?
And how do we build our influence in and with the broader community?
You are invited to join Sarah Moran (social media specialist), Alissa Phillips (founding director s.p.a.c.e), Catherine Williams (Campaigns Manager Oaktree Foundation), Caro Jende (Marketing Communications Coordinator Youth Arts Queensland) and Ehon Chan (Youth Ambassador Inspire Foundation) to explore, discuss and provide your input into these questions.Date: Thursday, 1 October 2009
