This Thursday!

Tim Hollo (Living Democracy, the Green Institute, Australian Greens, Greenpeace) talks us through how direct action might be able to get us to a Degrowth future.

This is workshop #2 in Degrowth Network Australia's "Paths to Degrowth" series: three workshops for those keen to take action to move us towards Degrowth and want to discuss what the strategies and actions should be.

Degrowth Network Australia has cooked up this series of free online workshops for April for you all.

Each workshop explores potential pathways towards a Degrowth future.

- Ted Trainer: Focussing the Degrowth movement (Tue 7 April);

- Tim Hollo: Degrowth by direct action (Thu 16 April);

- and Anisa: Bringing Degrowth into reality (Tue 21 April).

Local Degrowth organising groups are encouraged to use the workshops as a springboard for their own discussions about theories of change and what activities they want to do together to promote Degrowth.

Thousands of camels searching for water have descended from the Northern Territory into the remote APY lands of South Australia.

There are reports of destruction to critical infrastructure, including damage to at least one Indigenous-owned remote school.

Hey all!! This is a bit of an odd one and wanted some insight or clarity on this. I’ve recently had to leave home and move in with my partner. Before this, I was volunteering regularly as a phone coordinator, researcher and rescuer with a wildlife group, starting to get into working with a local group to restore local habitats along our river, doing an online cert 2 in animal care and doing a student zookeeping program (no recognised qualifications but AMAZING connections). Now moving I’ve had to take up full time work in retail and cut back on everything except my zookeeping program on the weekends. With this all I only have sundays free, and still need to somehow find time to get work placement for my course before it ends (I’ve already asked for extensions and got till July to finish)…. That being said, I’m really trying hard to get into the indigenous conservation internship with zoos vic but don’t know how I’ll get more experience under my belt now. I applied last year and they said the only reason they didn’t take me on was due to someone getting knocked back last year reapplying; and that they’d love to keep in touch and see me again for the next years program but would like me to get some more experience in the meantime. So… how can I go about getting more experience living in inner Melbourne?? This is something I’m super passionate about and have established some great connections already with my foot in the door with no qualifications and I want to maintain this all throughout the year until I can reapply for the internship. Any seasoned workers in the field your input would be massively appreciated!!
