SUMMARY:The Art of Living - Bring back the Story
DESCRIPTION:The Human Library presents: The Art of Living – Bring back the Story \nCome to an interactive night of sharing stories. A space where people connect and meet in a meaningful way to: \n\nExplore\nConnect\nLearn.\n\nStorytelling is a social and cultural activity of sharing about one’s life. \nStories: \n\nLet us share information in a way that creates an emotional connection\nTeach us about life\, ourselves\, and about others.\n\nStorytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories. Every culture has its own stories or narratives\, which are shared as a means of entertainment\, education\, cultural preservation or instilling moral values. \nStories have been used to hand down learning and knowledge for thousands of years. \nA good story engages our curiosity\, emotions and imagination. \nStories have a transformative power to allow us to see the world in a different way than we do if we just encounter it on our own. Stories are an entry point to understanding a different experience of the world. \nThis aspect of storytelling – presenting a different perspective of the world – is important when it comes to connecting with each other. It gives us an opportunity to learn from another person’s experience and it can shape\, strengthen or challenge our opinions and values. When a story catches our attention and engages us\, we are more likely to absorb the message and meaning within it than if the same message was presented simply in facts and figures. \nAn old man sits by a fire telling a story to a group of adults and children. Process print after H. Thompson/ (Image: public domain) \nWhen someone tells us their own personal story\, we catch a glimpse of a view of the world that may be slightly or radically different from our own. When we see the world as they see it\, or walk in their shoes\, the experience can inspire empathy within them. \nDate:23/02/2023\nTickets close: 21/02/2023\nTime: 6pm \nFinger food will be available from 6:00pm–6:30pm \n\nDrinks can be purchased from the Bar\n\nLocation:\nThe Kelvin Club\n14-30 Melbourne Pl\, Melbourne\nCost: $25 / $15 concession.

SUMMARY:From charity to solidarity - overseas aid and economic development
DESCRIPTION:Meet Elsa and Lanu \nTimorese co-operators\, Elsa Pinto (pictured above working in her community) and Lanu de Sousa are inspiring people. Elsa is working with farming communities to reduce Timorese reliance on imported food. Lanu has established a grass-roots credit union that is assisting three hundred families to access credit for the first time. Both are passionate about the potential of co-operative and mutual enterprise (CMEs) to transform their economy. Additionally\, they are studying community development at Victoria University … but we think they can already teach us a thing or two. \nElsa and Lanu’s work has inspired the members of the 888 Co-operative Causeway and we would like to actively contribute to their relationships within the Victorian co-operative and development communities\, and their work more broadly … and you are invited. \nFrom charity to solidarity – overseas aid and economic development \nTimor Leste remains one of the poorest countries in the world; but\, we also know there is great untapped potential. \nPeople in Timor desperately need access to credit to build their economic independence so as to live a prosperous life. Sadly\, most of the food people eat in Timor is imported. \nTimor receives much-needed aid from international donors and relies on income from oil deposits\, but this is not enough to break the cycle of poverty. To move beyond dependency there is a need to diversify the Timorese economy to build ‘common wealth’. \nThe Event \nTimor restored independence on the 20th of May 2002. Leading up to independence Australia supported the Timorese people through providing peacekeepers (under the command of Sir Peter Cosgrove). This event provides an opportunity for Australians and the broader Timor community in Australia to continue to practically build solidarity. \nThe event will be held at the quirky Kelvin Club with finger food provided. \nHear from Elsa\, Lanu and other inspiring speakers … \nSamantha Bond\, Senior Organiser at Union Aid Abroad – APHEDA \n \nSamantha is involved in some groundbreaking work. The majority of the Timor Leste population live and work in rural farming districts. Small-scale family agriculture is the basis of the national economy however agricultural production is low and farmers’ income is often insecure. Local food and cash crop production do not meet national or export demands. An organised agricultural sector will make a fundamental and sustainable contribution to the economy and significantly reduce poverty across farming communities. Local development of the farming sector could provide future sustainable alternatives to the the high dependence on finite oil and gas resources in the Timor Sea. APHEDA partners currently work across nine districts with over 1\,200 direct beneficiaries. Field organisers live alongside the farmers to support them to develop strong and democratic farmer bases which are able to organise rural communities\, mobilise existing resources and facilitate access to capital\, credit\, land and seeds for agricultural production. \nPeter McMullin \n \nPeter McMullin has a long-standing relationship with Timor-Leste. He is an international business adviser to Timor-Leste’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and serves as Victoria’s Honorary Consul to Timor-Leste in Victoria. An active philanthropist\, he was key to establishing the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness at Melbourne University Law School. More recently he established The Good Business Foundation\, a progressive foundation looking at engaging business in social good. \nBy going along … you will be doing some good \nThis event is to launch a campaign to raise funds to allow Elsa and Lanu to be part of the 888 Co-operative Causeway co-working space in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. Net proceeds (after paying for catering for finger food on arrival) will go to the fundraising drive. \nNote: unfortunately venue not fully disability accessible. \n888 Co-operative Causeway is the first registered co-operative (non-distributing/not-for-profit) co-working space in Victoria. More than just a co-working space\, we are a network of micro-organisations and freelancers active in the social economy. Among our goals is the desire to collaboratively build a better Victoria for the common good. \n

SUMMARY:Who's afraid of Big Data (a Jobs Killer)?
DESCRIPTION:Image: Edgarodriguezmunoz (Wikimedia Commons) \nIs data-fueled automation realistic or hyperbole? \nIn recent times ‘big data’ has become synonymous with “automation” as data fuels the artificial intelligence behind systems designed to replace workers. Is this really the future of the workplace and if it is\, is it imminent or do we have time to influence the roll out of new technology? \nDiscuss the hopes and opportunities that advances in data analytics can bring to individuals\, organisations and the workforce as a whole in the context of the ‘future of work’. \nOur speakers will explore the likely impacts of big data and automation\, as well as reflecting on the current hype around big data and expectations for what comes next… \n \nLizzie O’Shea – is a lawyer\, writer\, and broadcaster. She is regularly featured on national television programs and radio to comment on law\, digital technology\, corporate responsibility\, and human rights\, and her writing has appeared in the New York Times\, Guardian\, and Sydney Morning Herald\, among others. She is the author of Future Histories\, a book that outlines how very human our understanding of technology is\, and what potential exists for struggle\, for liberation\, for art and poetry in our digital present.  \n \nSarah Barker is the Director of Data Intelligence at Our Community\, a world-leading B Corporation that provides advice\, connections\, training and easy-to-use tech tools for people and organisations working to build stronger communities. Sarah leads Our Community’s Innovation Lab\, trialling and refining methods for managing and learning from data in the social sector. Sarah is an energetic leader and enjoys building relationships\, creative thinking and continuous learning. \n \nDon Sharples is the founder of Altometer Business Intelligence (and a co-working member of 888 Co-operative Causeway) – he believes that data should be for everyone to make the most of. You can read about some of his ideas here. \n \nTim Lyons is a Research Fellow at think-tank Per Capita and Deputy Chairman of a large Industry Superannuation Fund. Tim works with unions and NGOs as a partner in Reveille Strategy Pty Ltd. Tim more than 20 years experience in the union movement as an organiser\, advocate\, and senior leader. He spent 7 years as the Assistant Secretary of the ACTU until 2015 where he was responsible for organising programs and labour law\, economics and pensions. Tim has been also member of Federal Government boards and expert working groups on workplace relations\, taxation\, superannuation\, procurement and industry policy.

SUMMARY:Solidarity Economy Learning Circle
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to building a new kind of economy that is built on mutuality\, shared ownership and co-operation – a solidarity economy – many of us are convinced. We know that the extractive economy can’t continue without causing increasing levels of economic inequality\, environmental destruction and human suffering. We know why we need change. \nHowever\, there is an increasing hunger to find out how we can start to really build things together. If this observation is correct then it might be a good time to form a learning circle for this new kind of economy. \nThe 888 Co-operative Causeway has a small co-working space in the centre of the Melbourne CBD. Members have been organising workshops and panels for quite some time. However\, the Causeway would like to change course a little and bring more like-minded people together to learn\, share and practically develop approaches to building the solidarity economy. These discussions would occur monthly at 6pm on the last Tuesday of the month at the Causeway space with those attending having the opportunity to continue on for drinks and/or a meal at the Kelvin Club. \nOur learning circle explorations will be focussed on addressing questions relating to meeting basic human needs – community\, education\, energy\, food and water\, health and shelter through new and old approaches as outlined in the above diagram from Solidarity NYC. The group would be self-managed with a revolving convenor and invited leaders to inform our discussion and fact-finding. \nWould you and/or your organisation/network like to join us? \nCome along to our first discussion Tuesday November 27 at 6.45-7.45pm – the Kelvin Club to informally discuss how we can run the learning circle and what topics to choose first. Pre-Christmas drinks and a meal will also be an option!

SUMMARY:Co-operative Approaches to the Affordable Housing Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The home ownership dream is increasingly out of reach and everyone in Victoria is feeling the impact. Co-operative housing most commonly sits in the ‘social housing’ space but is starting to be discussed as a shared ownership option too. The idea is pretty new to Australia – so we thought it was time to start a public conversation even if we don’t know all the answers yet. \nJoin 888 Co-operative Causeway Patron Magaret Feeney for an exploration to be led by our very own Co-operative Causeway member (and seasoned facilitator) Jacinta Cubis to discuss the value of existing co-operative housing options\, as well as new global and local developments in shared/mixed equity co-operative housing to address our affordable housing crisis. \nJoin these leading practitioners and experts to help us explore these opportunities: \n\nJacques Boulet\, Borderlands Co-operative\nNicola Foxworthy\, Common Equity Housing\nElena Pereyra\, Co-housing Australia.\n\nAs an added bonus we welcome Waffle Irongirl (pictured below) for a slam poetry response (be warned Waffle Irongirl – for the uninitiated – is the poetical analogue of a heavy metal karaoke!). \n  \nPlease note: basic casual attire required at this event – no thongs\, singlets or shorts. \nBackground\nVictorian Government analysis has found that median house prices in Melbourne have risen by over 40% since 2012 (49% in regional Victoria). One result is that from 1994-95 to 2013-14\, home ownership rates dropped from 76% to 69% of Victorian households. Social housing in Victoria for people experiencing hardship has grown overall but as a proportion of total housing\, the share of this housing type has fallen. At the most extreme end\, we are seeing increasing numbers of homeless people surfing couches\, living in cars or sleeping rough on the streets of Melbourne. \nWe find that these issues hit young people\, older women and inner-city low-middle income workers the hardest. We all need a ‘roof over our head’ to have a strong base to enjoy the peace and prosperity that should be the birthright of all Victorians.

SUMMARY:Dignity of labour in the gig economy
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has been postponed until later in the year. Apologies to those who had reserved tickets\, we’ll be organising refunds and rescheduling over the next couple of days… \nPurposeful work can be the cornerstone of a meaningful life. With the breakdown of traditional modes of secure work through casualization\, labour hire\, independent contracting and the use of online platforms such as Airtasker\, the nature of work has become precarious for many. At the same time\, more flexible arrangements have created new opportunities for people to pursue work/life balance. Emerging technologies are only exacerbating these trends – raising questions like: \n\nWhat ways can regulators promote better industrial relations?\nHow can platform cooperatives create new ways for people to work together?\nWhat ingredients are required to promote dignified and secure work?\nHow can independent workers pull together to rebalance markets?\n\nJoin us at the Kelvin Club for a night of thought provoking views and discussion with our speakers: \n\nRobyn Kaczmarek\, The Co-operative Life\nGodfrey Moase\, National Union of Workers\nEleanor Coffey\, Redgum Cleaning Co-operative (Earthworker co-operative)\n\n
