• Do you operate or are you interesting in starting a business that could help your community?
• Are you a community group or organisation wanting to be more economically and environmentally sustainable?
• Do you want to know more about social and sustainable businesses?
• Would you like to know more about decarbonization and net zero?

This workshop will be useful for community-based businesses, Indigenous businesses, community organisations and neighbourhood centres that are trying to incorporate initiatives towards net zero.

It will involve strengths-based participatory approaches to explore the needs and opportunities for social enterprises and community-based businesses. Community owned enterprises, regional and sustainable employment generation as well as culturally appropriate approaches will be among the discussion areas.
