Join us for our online series Conversation Circles: Universal Impact
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #8 Decent Work and Inclusive Economies for social enterprise
The pandemic has changed everything and nothing. The perennial challenges of inequality, homelessness, marginalisation, intergenerational injustice and the spectre of ecological catastrophe - they all remain. The underlying causes have not budged, they have gotten worse, as leaders and markets flail or exacerbate systemic problems.
The push to achieve the UN agreed SDGs by 2030 will require leadership in all parts of our community.
Social enterprise is ahead of the curve with business innovation locked into creating a just, inclusive and sustainable future.
Now is the time for social enterprises to consolidate our strength and lead the charge to achieving SDGs by 2030.
The SDGs provide common frames for us to identify, communicate and measure our impact.
SDG8 - Decent Work and Inclusive economies
This third in a series of virtual events will explore the SDGs - in particular SDG8 - with:
Sally Quinn, CEO & Co-Founder of Green Collect
Leanne Hill, Manager of Social Procurement Policy at the Victorian Government's Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions
Sophie Arnold, Executive Manager of the United Nations Association of Australia
Hosted by Nick Verginis, CEO of Social Enterprise Network Victoria (SENVIC) and member of Catalyst 2030.
This virtual event is shared through the Alliance of Social Enterprise Networks Australia (ASENA) and welcomes social enterprise from across the country to join the conversation circle.
What is a Conversation Circle?
Conversation Circles are not webinars, they are a chance to hear from expert, then to discuss the issues and challenges with your peers.
Conversation Circles aim to:
Create an opportunity for practitioner-led dialog, collaboration and problem-solving.
Build a shared understanding of the features of a fair, inclusive and sustainable economy.
Identify opportunities for social enterprise to shape the new economy today.
These events are structured by a brief introductory section, where the panel introduce the topic, before smaller break-out rooms enable attendees to deepen their learning and connection. The events conclude with shared learnings with the full meeting group.
Tickets are free. Register here.
