Australian Rural Leadership Foundation Two Day Workshop

March 13, 2025 By Roxane Manley

ARLF Chief Executive Matt Linnegar had the honour of meeting with Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC recently to discuss the impactful work of the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation across the regions.

Are you ready to embrace the courage, col­lective spirit, and hope of changemaking? If so, register now for a two-day Change­maker Workshop, on March 17-18 at the Parkes International, to create a positive, lasting impact on your community.

Join a network of changemakers across rural, regional & remote Australia: As a col­lective, delve into your region’s readiness for change, explore how change happens, practise how to adapt to change and how to overcome resistance, become a change­maker, adapt your skills to enable your involvement in creating new and exciting things, managing setbacks and work col­lectively and purposefully with others.

Take part in diverse community conver­sations: Understand the local ecosystem; undertake purposeful and inclusive en­gagement; step into informed and authen­tic conversations, learn how to have those conversations, suspend judgement and as­sumptions, and build trust and transparen­cy for connection and diverse relationships.

Contribute to and inspire your communi­ty’s future: Explore ideas to shape the future you would like to see for your community, understand the importance of language and the power of storytelling in motivating and mobilising others, learn what makes a good story and how to connect with the hearts and minds of others.

Included is morning tea and lunch on both days, qualified, engaging, and supportive facilitators to guide you along your change­maker journey, all required stationery and participant resources and the opportunity to immerse yourself in a local network of driven, community minded individuals.

This workshop is fully subsidised with thanks to the Australian Government’s Fu­ture Drought Fund. It is delivered by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation, as part of the Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought Initiative.

Registrations close either when fully booked or 7 days before the workshop. For information and to register, visit rural-lead­ers.org.au or info@rural-leaders.org.au
