What a Jam-packed two weeks visiting and learning from some of the world’s leading foundations in Calgary, Banff, Toronto and Montreal.
Our learning span from Social finance/ Impact investing, how philanthropy, business, community and government can work together to make change, all the way to the gaining understanding of where Canada is at with reconciliation with the Indigenous peoples.
Thank you to all the incredible organisations in Canada who were so open to letting us learn from their successes and failures.
Gaining Knowledge is the first step to wisdom. Sharing it, is the first step to humanity
~Prescription Poetry~ Poetic cures for what ails you
Story Factory is taking creativity to a whole new level through the new Prescription Poetry workshops at their Parramatta centre.
About the Program: the students gather a range of ailments from people - from worries about a family member to fear of spiders or nerves about a big footy game - in the workshops students take on the role of “poetry doctors”, prescribing positive and practical advice in verse
Their poems, in pill bottles, will be distributed from a pop-up Poetry Dispensary at the Story Factory Parramatta centre mid next year
When: Workshops will be run in Term 4 this year, and Terms 1 and 2 next year.
