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)

Community futures are shape 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.

What are community futures?

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

Community futures live inside people’s hopes and dreams. Listen closely and you’ll hear the signals. They’re sounds from everyday life, hidden in plain sight.

    We're convening a dialogue around Australia 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 regions where 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
