Join us for a workshop series starting 18 October 2024
Less than 2 weeks to go before Side By Side Advocacy hosts some fantastic free training as part of the Community for Everyone Project!
There are 5 half day workshops running on consecutive Fridays from 18 October from 10.00am – 2.00pm.
Topics include
• Friday 18 October – Inclusion 101 – an introductory session about the life experience of people with intellectual disability, ableism, the power of language and more
• Friday 25 October – Planning for a Good Life
• Friday 1 November – Making Community Connections
• Friday 8 November – Inclusion in Action
• Friday 15 November – Communication strategies to support decision making for people rarely heard.
The workshops will be in Parramatta at the Side By Side Advocacy office.
Everyone is welcome to apply to attend and spaces are still available!
Priority will be given to people who want to make their contribution to our community as a volunteer Social Connector or Circle Member. These are volunteer roles where you will build a genuine connection with a person with intellectual disability, supporting them to become more connected to their community and expand their social networks.
– A Social Connector makes a weekly commitment – between 3-5 hours each week.
– A Circle Member makes a monthly commitment – between 3-5 hours each month.
It’s a great chance to learn new skills, meet like minded people and help us build a community where everyone belongs!
Hunter Circles is running the same workshops in the Hunter area.
