Join us for the meet up of Wilderness Society North Eastern Suburbs Group. We're a group of people who love where we live and want to be part of a positive movement for nature.

As part of the Wilderness Society's Movement for Life (see more here), we focus on protecting and restoring the natural environment in our part of the world, encouraging a culture of connecting with nature and enjoying a life outdoors, and playing our part in the larger campaigns to create a more sustainable future. 

At this meet up we will discuss what we plan to do, how we plan to do it, and get to know each other. Please RSVP so we have an idea on numbers.

We encourage you to attend a Welcom Event or Community Organising training before attending a group meeting.

The Wilderness Society has an ever expanding network of passionate community groups and supporters. For the past 40+ years we have advocated on behalf of nature, and have had some incredible campaign wins along the way. It's time for us to ramp up our work as together we stand up for the places and communities we love.

Our leading community organising training is all about immersing yourself in an incredible learning and development experience.

Using tools and techniques honed in community organising programs across the world, we’ll help you reach new audiences and have empowering conversations about the things that matter to you— and the reasons we should all support life.

This course will give you experience and skills in:

• The theory and frameworks of community organising
• Relational organising
• Leadership and facilitation
• Communications for change (telling your personal narrative)
• Campaign planning
• Activating your local community
• Building grassroots teams and volunteer management

Through this program you will also have the opportunity to work with your local community and existing local networks to take effective action on the local issues you care about.
