Rising Together

Join us for Plan C’s Rising Together Community Resilience Events

We are thrilled that the Northern Rivers Community Foundation grant is helping to support empowering events aimed at supporting our community to transition from flood recovery to disaster resilience.

We are excited about our upcoming calendar of small community gatherings where collaboratively designed + facilitated sessions will focus on transitioning from trauma to resilience. We’re keeping registrations capped at 25 to create opportunities for deeper connections. (We will create waiting lists)

From May to December, we’re hosting gatherings across the Northern Rivers LGAs. You are more than welcome to register for any event, even if you live/work in a different LGA. If you are passionate about transitioning from trauma to recovery and building resilience then these sessions are for you!

Each gathering will:

  • strengthen connections between CCRs + community members and anyone interested in building community networks

  • provide inspiration from shared stories 

  • develop disaster-preparation + resilience skills/strategies

  • be fun and offer a counter-balance to the hard work you’ve been doing in communities

  • improve wellbeing and get support to recover from floods/bushfires/Covid

Watch the recording and pictures of some of these sessions here.

Workshops and field visits

In addition to our CCR training, First Aid training and Psychological First Aid training, we organise regular and free workshops and field visits focused on regenerative practices and community resilience. 

The purpose of these workshops and field visits is to nurture the CCR network and help CCRs deepen their skills.

Examples of community workshops include a 4h workshop on setting up a community radio communications system; a 6h workshop on herbal first-aid; a 3h workshop on grants writing; a 1-day workshop on growing food in your backyard, etc.

Examples of field visits include a 2h visit to someone's place who renovated their house to be flood or bushfire resilient; a 1h gathering around emergency communication self-powered trailer; a 2h visit to a suburban food-growing backyard, etc. Such field visits are followed with shared lunch/drinks to allow further connection time among participants.

Enroll in our CCR program to attend these workshops and field visits.
