Last Friday we facilitated the first stakeholder workshop for the Southern Grampians Community Wellbeing Plan and our Strategic Plan in partnership with Southern Grampians Shire Council. There was 40 hardworking participants from a diverse range of backgrounds, who developed a systems maps to describe the relationship between factors that influence community wellbeing. We were lucky enough to have the support again of GLOBE at Deakin University who have built our skills in this systems mapping process.
The magic happened when the groups examined their systems map and started to identify different ways of clustering/theming the actions needed to address multiple health issues.
The next workshop will be held on May 26th and will focus taking these first preliminary themes and discussing the capacity within Southern Grampians to act on them and then what are the outcomes and measures we are trying to achieve.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated and gave so freely their knowledge and passion into the process.
The next stakeholder workshop will be on Friday 26th May, 9am to 2pm at Hamilton Golf Club.
