Fresh from ‘Climate Action Week’ held at the University of Technology in Sydney, Castlemaine is about to get a dose of global action with a twist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
FutuResilience Events is bringing two exciting workshops to town, strengthening sustainability action with the globally recognised Inner Development Goals Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First up, as part of the Women’s Climate Congress, on Friday March 28, they’re hosting ‘Empowering Collaborative Action’ at Christ Church Hall. It’s not your average workshop \u2013 think ‘Monopoly on steroids’ for the planet, but way more fun and impactful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together with Canberra-based facilitator, Beth Mitchell, FutuResilience Events co-founder, Tanya Mottl, said the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals Game was a game-changer \u2013 literally! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s amazing to see how a simulation can spark such deep insights about global sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her colleague and fellow FutuResilience Events co-founder, Wendy Harper, said that combined with the 2030 SDGs Game, the IDGs were like the secret sauce for making real change happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They help change-makers in every sector develop the inner skills essential to tackling the big, complex challenges of our times,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a second event scheduled during the Castlemaine Fringe Festival (‘Shift Happens’ Monday March 31, 10.45 – 1.30pm also at Christ Church Hall) Wendy and Tanya are looking forward to engaging with groups seeking tools that can help them build resilience and effectively navigate the sustainability transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe 2030 SDGs Game is a powerful simulation that delivers the kind of shifts that would otherwise take much greater lengths of time to achieve,” Ms Mitchell said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“One scientist who joined us for the session at UTS said he was very sceptical at first, but got so much out of the experience they are now considering how to incorporate the process into future projects to aid cooperative approaches and delivery of outcomes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Castlemaine is definitely a hotspot for innovative approaches to sustainability. Don’t miss your chance to play for the planet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
