A free community connectors course is on offer in the Landsborough, Beerwah and Glass House Mountains areas for people who care about having resilient neighbourhoods in the face of natural disasters.
Natasha Odgers from Community Praxis Cooperative said, “It is important to recognise how critical connections with our neighbours can be, especially during times of disasters such as floods and fires.
“This is why we are offering training to strengthen neighbourhood connections and shift relationships from being friendly to being organised for when people need to work together,” Ms Odgers said.
Information sessions will be held Saturday March 23 at the Glass House Mountains Hall from 11am-12pm and Thursday March 28 from 10am-11am at the Landsborough Sports Complex. The timing of the session for Beerwah is yet to be finalised. Catering will be included for all sessions.
This is a free 10-hour course, over three sessions, delivered by Community Praxis Co-op as part of the local We Recover Better Together project.
This course includes the following topics: what is helpful in recovering from disasters; why community is important; the significance of community connectors and the power of the small group. This is a course that is well suited to anyone who likes to connect in the community, and also a great way to meet other locals.
