AWGS #24: Articulating Value(s) in Community-Engaged Work

What do we value, across sectors, as community-engaged practitioners? What is the value we bring to the communities we work with? And how do we communicate our values to stakeholders that support and fund our work?

Join us for the ArtsWok Greenhouse Sessions #24 as we dialogue and reflect on the value of the work we do and the values which inform our work in arts-based community development or community-engaged work. Drawing on our review of the last decade of The Greenhouse Sessions and the recent ArtsWok Learning Forum, we recognise the need to identify and communicate the value(s) of community-engaged arts. By understanding the tangible value of the work we do and why we choose to do this work, we can build effective vocabularies to deepen understanding and recognition of the field.

Through group dialogue and sharings, we will reflect on individual and potential shared values that motivate our work. We will also explore how to identify and capture the value and impact of community-engaged practice through arts and culture. Finally, we will discuss new vocabularies to articulate the value of our work to different stakeholders, as well as across sectors.

Registration is free and we encourage you to pay as you wish at the door (via PayNow). Your contribution and support will allow us to continue providing this important space for practitioners (seasoned and new) to come together for dialogue and exchange, and to discuss developments in the arts-based community development field collectively.

Kindly note that registering for a ticket is taken as an indication of interest and not a confirmation of your participation. As the main mode of learning for the ArtsWok Greenhouse Sessions is through peer sharing and exchange, participants should be currently doing work in the area of community-engaged arts, or have some experience, exposure or interest. You can indicate these details in the registration form, and we will be in touch to confirm your attendance.

Please note that if there is more than one participant from the same organisation, we may limit the number of participants per organisation to allow for more diversity in the room.
