DisasterWISE welcomes you to an critical discussion on community-led v community-centered practice. This month, we're exploring the difference between these two approaches, opening dialogue around power, consultation, knowledge and self-determination.

Have you experienced or been part of genuine community-led decision-making?

Have you played a supporting role, as an ally or enabler of community-led practice?

Are you working within an organisation that takes a community-centred approach?

Whether you’re a community organiser, practitioner, researcher, or just curious - this is a space to share, question and learn together. Let’s unpack what works, what doesn’t and what needs to change. All welcome and please share with your networks.

Register for the June Get-Together here.

DisasterWISE get-togethers are designed to bring together members of the DisasterWISE Communities Network, fostering connection, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration. These gatherings serve as essential touchpoints for members to share experiences about common challenges in disaster preparedness, response, recovery and climate adaptation initiatives.

Each month, the network hosts a one hour online gathering to discuss a topical subject. Guest speakers are invited along to share their knowledge, with an emphasis on lived experience, community-led initiatives and on supporting community resilience.

You're invited to attend monthly gatherings, the discussion is open to everyone and you're welcome to suggest speakers and topics of interest - just email connect@disasterwise.com.au
