The Queensland Community Alliance is an Alliance of civil society organisations whose mission is to provide our community with a voice to express our common values and aspirations for a fair and just society.
Foundations training is based on the philosophy and practices developed by the Industrial Areas Foundation in over 65 years of successful organising. These ideas are translated to an Australian context to cover the essentials of community organising and how we implement it here in Queensland, with pockets of place based organising in SEQ, Gladstone and Townsville.
This training institute will be held in person on Saturday 25 July and Saturday 1 August, 8:45am for a 9am start to 4:30pm each day. It is necessary for all attendees to commit to attending all sessions.

Topics at Foundations training include:
- Community Organising: based on the history and tradition of our religious, union and community organisations
Relational Organising: individual relational meetings, listening assemblies, research, negotiation and action
Strengthening our Organisations: building a culture that is relational, action oriented and reflective/learning
Using Relational Power in the public sphere to take collaborative action on common issues. - The training is interactive, thoughtful and made for people with all levels of experience. Concepts worked through include power, our roles as public people and what strong organisations look like. As practical as it is theoretical, we teach the tools to start building public relationships and working through the organising cycle to solve problems in our communities.
There is no cost to attend this training, but we ask for a $10 donation to cover the costs of lunch.
