18.01.2022 Millers Point Monday Night Farmers Market - A community & love driven market in Sydney CBD Check out another brand new podcast for the series ABCD on the Go with Dimitrios visiting the Millers Point Farmers Market and interviewing local stall holders, community members, volunteers and young people about the positive ripple effects of a local, small, community- led market that supports local farmers and businesses while also creating a safe, inclusive and loving space. A plac...e where neighbors can come safely together, buy fresh produce, meet their neighbors, listen to live music, feel connected and be part of something. A place where different generations can interact, a place that increases livability and walkability in the local area, a place that neighbors care for each other, a places that promotes volunteering and community care, a place where you can feel the love.

16.01.2022 Are you ok? But also are we ok? Mental health and wellbeing is not just an individual matter but also a collective responsibility. Shall we move from self care to community care? From individual recovery to community healing? And tap into supportive networks, relationships, neighborhood and community for health and wellbeing?

14.01.2022 Today I visited the Millers Point Night Farmer Markets ran by the community for the community! Loved the sun, chilled french beer, kids playing happily, fresh produce, vegan greek food, community mural, live music and community spirit!!! Love my work!

11.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who attended Cormac 's Rekindling Democracy discussion and book launch hosted by Soulgen and Sydney ABCD FAM! It was a great experience coming together and sharing from an honest and vulnerable space and finding hope. Thanks to Cormac for gifting us generously perls of wisdom, inspiring stories, lived experience and engaging us in such an interesting and important conversation!... Special thanks to Dean Quirke and Catarina Fraga Matos for helping with the hosting. I always forget to take a screenshot :) We will be sending a survey out next week to those who attended and giving away some copies of Cormac's book that can guide our work and role in our neighborhoods, communities and the world...

09.01.2022 Soulgen has partnered with the Miller Point Farmer Night Markets to apply for the CBD Activation Matching grant to curate a series of youth-led creative events and performances! Fingers crossed we can get the grant to embark on this important and fun initiative!!! In the meantime, creatives hit me up if you are keen to do some busking at the markets on a Monday night to support local farmers/stalls and raise some funds for community initiatives...

09.01.2022 I have been super busy and productive lately with Soulgen: - finishing a report for a 3 month youth consultation & codesign with Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre Inc - codesigning a workshop with Beatriz Carrillo on widening participation for unrepresented groups of young people at university - planning 5 trainings on collective impact using ABCD in Woollomolloo... - codesigning a youth-led intergenerational exhibition in partnership with Youth for Youth at Cumberland City Council Never been more busy, productive and excited before. As one of my favourite writers Joseph Campbell said: " Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." #abcd #codesign #collectiveimpact #communityarts #consultancy #followyourbliss

09.01.2022 Another great colab for a youth-led intergenerational exhibition is coming up! The theme of the exhibition aligns with Cumberland Council's Youth Strategy and consultation findings and is about promoting multiculturalality and diversity as an asset and changing the story (and narratives) of disadvantaged. This aligns with the asset based community driven approach Im passionate about and my experience working with young people and diverse communities in Australia and other co...untries. Looking forward to working with the Youth for Youth group and young people in Western Sydney. With the support of Cumberland Council, Merrylands RSL and BYSA!!! Enter in contact if you want to know more, get involved or support this initiative. #abcd #youthparticipation #dreamworld #youthforyouth #intergenerational #westernsydney #changingthestoryofdisadvantaged #youthledchange #walkingthestrengthsbasedtalk

05.01.2022 A brand new episode for the podcast series ABCD on the Go is coming out soon so stay tuned!

05.01.2022 Excited to be running a discovery session tomorrow for the Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand Waranara School in Marrickville as part of the Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre Inc Young Changemakers - Youth for Impact initiative in partnership with PCYC Balmain and Inner West Council. This is part of our consultation and community conversations in the Inner West area to help us identify the unique assets and ideas of young people, promote changemaking and codesign a youth-led program/social enterprise. #abcd #youthparticipation #collectiveimpact #youngchangemakers #discoverysession #youthforimpact #codesign #socialenterprise #socialimpact

03.01.2022 Post production can be fun!!!

03.01.2022 How do we shift from a charity model to an enabling one? How do we break out of our silos and truly collaborate? How do we change our model from top down to bottom up? How do we harness the underutilized assets, gifts and passion of our community? How do we do less for and to community and more with or by community? ... How do we shift roles from heroes and experts to hosts? How do we work in citizen's space? We will explore some of this and a lot more at Cormac Russell 's ABCD Webinar and Book Launch this Thursday. Hosted by Soulgen and ABCD Sydney Network with the help of Dean Quirke and Catarina Fraga Matos If you haven't registered yet, there is still time. https://lnkd.in/gFUq9_u #abcd #collectiveimpact #activecitizens #community #support
