Through our work running leadership programs we have spent time with a lot of First Nations leaders around Australia and we know this referendum is a defining moment for them. We think it is also a defining moment for the rest of us to decide what our relationship is to our shared history and future. Let’s be proud of the choice we make!
As singer songwriter Paul Kelly asks “If not now, then when? If not us, then who?”
24 inspiring leaders from across the Eurobodalla started their 12 month leadership journey with the first Deep Dive three-day workshops at Murramarang Resort, South Durras. With a focus on community leadership the program represents many sectors of the Eurobodalla community. A real positive for the program is the mix of first and second nation participants.
The next workshop will begin to outline a range of community focused leadership programs that can be co-designed implemented over the next 12 months.
The program is being delivered by Global Learning in partnership with the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and Southcoast Health and Sustainability Alliance.
Regenerate Eurobodalla is a fully funded 9 day leadership development program building community, business and government leadership capacity for resilience and sustainability.
Global Learning are collaborating with the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and Southcoast Health and Sustainability Alliance to offer the program.

This proven and impactful leadership program has already been successfully delivered to a wide range of diverse regional communities within NSW.
Participants will find the program to be a powerful and immersive learning journey built around self-awareness, working in teams and community and taking action for the greater good.
Challenging, demanding and seriously enjoyable, the program provides a truly unique opportunity to join others in taking a lead role in your future, and the future of our community and region.

This community conversation sponsored by SouthCoast Health and Sustainability Alliance (SHASA) provided an opportunity to discuss and learn from the recent and ongoing fire catastrophe that has impacted the South Coast of NSW.
More than 50 people came along to tell stories, share ideas and knowledge and most importantly just connect. We explored what worked well, lessons learnt, and what we can do better next time, and how, as a community, we can build resilience and capability into the future.
This is important and ongoing work and we look forward to helping host future conversations.
Black cockatoos are constant companions in my bit of the south coast at the moment. They are flying in regularly to access water from our neighbours birdbaths and maybe to seek some solace from the incredibly smoky fire conditions that are threatening us.
Incredibly our local council feels there is no need to declare a climate emergency. Yet for much of the past two weeks fire has blocked parts of the Princes Highway and the Kings Highway from Canberra. It looks and feels like armageddon!
The lack of political leadership to confront climate chaos is stunning! In our 30 plus years of leadership development, we know that when emergencies happen true leadership shows up. Something we are only seeing at the community and individual level.
Ironically it has taken 16-year-old Greta Thunberg to help show the way!
