The Mullumbimby and District Neighbourhood Centre (MDNC) are kicking off their community conversations for the year, called Mullum Together, which explores what matters to you most and what kind of community you want to live and participate in.
In a media release they say, ‘The approach is designed to foster open, meaningful conversations in relaxed, “around the table” settings, aiming to identify aspirations, opportunities for innovation, and collaboration’.
Mullum Together
‘MDNC’s Mullum Together is an ongoing practice to hear from those whose voices are often not heard, with a commitment to listening widely, understanding diverse perspectives, and identifying the aspirations that unite us.
‘By opening these safe informal spaces for dialogue, MDNC aims to: amplify diverse community voices (especially those missing voices not always included or heard); build cohesive community connections by uncovering shared aspirations; and spark innovative community solutions to local challenges.
‘We’re hoping this project will create a chain reaction of possibilities,’ says Julie Williams, Manager of the MDNC. ‘We know that no single person or organisation can solve all our challenges. We believe in the magic of Mullumbimby. Where there are challenges, we want to work on change together with the community because the most effective solutions and actions come from within the community itself.’

Dates on offer include February 5, 10, 20, 24, March 2, 7, 12, 17 and 22, at either the RSL, MDNC or Gulganii (3 Bridgland Lane).
