Participatory Melbourne
Participatory Melbourne is a collaborative initiative between Regen Melbourne, the Coalition of Everyone and Swinburne University [Australian Leadership Index] exploring scaling solutions that generate community agency, increase trust, create connectedness, and inspire active participation. It’s about renewal of our long-held processes and beliefs, one that’s rooted in the principles of community custodianship, collaborative governance, and democratic values that go beyond politics.
At the core, we recognise that change doesn’t happen in a vacuum based on individual action, but rather as an outcome of large-scale connections. That’s why we aim to use collective action to catalyse systemic change.
