We've been pretty quiet recently but are starting to think about how we can get our events running again, and what they might need to look like. And we want to hear what topics/issues you'd like us to focus on! Got any ideas? #citizenship

I don’t do twitter rants... but something needs to be said about the lack of credit that Community Education/CLD/Community Development gets for empowering people and communities to have more powerful voices to bring about system change #becauseofcld #abcd

Thanks to @ed_citizen for a great night discussing over tourism. Second night this week I've been in a room with 50-60 people who are angry and getting organised

It's our bit now! Facilitating the discussions to make sure everyone has a chance to speak, be heard, learn and share. #OverTourism
