A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ERADA ADVISORY & TANK

Community futures are hidden in plain sight.

We think community-centred foresight is the most underused asset across Australia and its communities.

If you think so too, join the conversation with us.

“To be alive to the future we must create a culture of joy and imagination, provide evidence for our decisions, and allow people to fail.”

- Kelly O’Shanassy (Former CEO, Australian Conservation Foundation)

What are community futures?

Community futures are shaped by the values and wisdom of the people who will live them.

They take shape at community gatherings, on Country, in conversations and the lived experiences of people in our communities - the people closest to a place and closest to its future.

Community futures live inside people. Their hopes and dreams are signals to the future they want to see. Unless you look and listen closely for them, they stay hidden in plain sight.

Most leaders agree that engaging with the future matters more than it did five years ago. We do too.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

We're convening a dialogue about how regional, rural and multicultural communities create a culture of imagination to design the future they want to see.

Join with us for:

  • In-person discussion panels; held in places where local communities are re-imagining their future

  • Online webinars; that define and interrogate ideas, open to anyone, regardless of where they are based

  • Shared reports; that bring together ideas from a range of perspectives into something the whole network can use
