We have organised a yummy lunch but you must RSVP by 1pm Thursday and pay on the day – more details on lunch here.
what to bring
Please bring: pen – paper – water bottle – snacks to share (if you would like to) – lunch (if you are supplying your own) – thinking caps and brainstorming power tools
google wave
We are running a google wave to allow everyone to share resources and ideas. It will also allow people who cannot physically attend to still be involved.
To join in, create a google wave account and email your google name (eg glenn.todd@googlewave.com) to gt@bindarri.com.au
why?
Public momentum on climate change action is stagnating, Copenhagen flopped and Rudd back-flipped on legislating a strong ETS. Meanwhile the issue is not going away and scientists are getting more alarmed with the scientific evidence.
Australian groups have created the technical and economic solutions and now we need big creative ideas to inspire the Australian community and our leaders to implement these solutions.
We are calling for Australia’s creatives to step up to this challenge and provide the ideas, skills and leadership that will transform the movement and catalyse real change.
We want to abandon the stereotypes of past communications and actions to embrace the new, the clever, the dynamic and agile, the unexpected.
outcomes
We are not aiming to produce campaign materials. We aim to produce the ideas and concepts that will lead to better campaign planning or a better alternative to a campaign altogether.
We want to design frameworks for the Climate Communicators to allocate resources and ideas within their own organisations and to seek funding and support for implementation.
1. Generation of ideas and concepts to re-energise the climate change movement
2. Creation of personal and working relationships between creatives and Climate Change campaigners
sharing
All ideas and concepts produced will be shared and licensed Creative Commons Attribution. They will not be owned by any one person. We will encourage remixing and upcycling of ideas between participants.
rewards
- Work creatively in a fun environment
- Extend working networks
- Learn new ways of collaborating together
- Contribute actively to the climate change issue
We are promoting this event through volunteering only – participation is the benefit!
are we producing marketing materials?
We are not aiming to produce a website or other marketing materials. We are wanting to generate creative ideas that can then be implemented by the campaign groups or used to source funding for implementation.
