The Village
community EVENTS and Podcast
‘The Village’, ‘Red Tent’ and ‘Be the Change’ video series are three Sunshine Coast Community initiatives inspired to create community change at a grass roots level. Events are designed to meet the needs of community focusing on re-connection to self, land and each other while facilitating open conversation around grass roots issues and collaborative solutions. Be the change video series builds off that concept, exploring conversations, perspectives and ideas for a better community, having the hard conversations and bouncing ideas for community based solutions. If the systems are broken we will create our own healthy community ecosystem from the ground up.
