Activate Your Community is a series of four practical workshops that will build your skills and confidence to create strong, connected and welcoming communities.

These workshops will bring to life the 'Community Activate Toolkit’ – a resource designed by the City of Whittlesea to support residents, groups and the wider community in leading positive, local change.

Communicating and sharing information

Tuesday 15 June, 10.00 - 11.30am and Thursday 17 June, 7.00 - 8.30pm

Promoting your community project, event or campaign is an important step. This workshop will help you to fine-tune what you want to communicate, and find the best ways to gain broad support and get the word out. 

It will cover:

• Exploring different options to communicate for your purpose
• How to attract media attention
• Using social media and online platforms to connect and promote
