Get with the SCENE!

The SCENE is a not-for-profit community building project initiated by long-time friends and colleagues, Sue Howard and Maria Delaney. We started this because we so often heard other social justice advocates in education and community service arenas talk about their feelings of disconnect and isolation, and their desire for more interaction, sharing and support.  The SCENE participants are involved in some way with activism, research, policy and practice, on the wide yet interrelated range of issues in social justice and violence prevention. They include former and current government officials, teachers and principals, consultants, activists, community service workers and educators, students and researchers, parents and carers, and diverse interested professionals and business owners.

The SCENE’s monthly informal gathering provides a unique opportunity for connection, inspiration and synergy. It’s a party with purpose, where you can socialise and meet old friends and new, and hear short talks from leading change-makers – followed by a group discussion. We allow plenty of time for socialising, supper and a drink or three. If you work in the area you can bring your business cards, info-sheets and event flyers etc for the promotions corner. Discussion groups and professional learning opportunities are in the pipeline for 2017.

We warmly welcome you to join us and please do invite your friends and colleagues! Connect on our Facebook group and contact us to join the list for notification of events. Email Maria and Sue: TheSCENE@email.com
