Friday August 13, 2021 | Bunbury, WA (and available virtually) |
Presented by City of Bunbury and Plico Energy

The Town Team State Conference 2021 is more than just a talk fest. Its about living and embodying the Town Team principles through immersive experience. Its about learning through doing. Its about being and doing Place rather than simply talking about Place. In 2021 we aim to explore the concept of “Act Local’ and how Town Teams and governments at all levels can play an expanding role in facilitating more connected and resilient communities through positive action.

Our full-day program will keep the festivities rolling from last year with a diverse selection of local and interstate facilitators, activations, installations, group discussions and new ways to get even more involved.

TOPICS INCLUDE:
• Place Leadership & Management
• Creative Engagement Techniques
• Community challenges & the role of Government
• Understanding & Celebrating Heritage and the arts
• The Power of Storytelling and vision making
• Economic & Community Development Embracing Technology

| ACT LOCAL |
