Wincott, in conjunction with GTT, facilitated three workshops in Goondiwindi with renowned organisational psychologist, facilitator and social researcher Ian Plowman. The purpose of the workshops was to strengthen the capacity and sustainability of rural communities by providing affordable and accessible training for a broad cross section of key rural stakeholders from the NSW Northern Inland and Border Rivers regions. The interactive workshops provided an opportunity to train, upskill and scaffold the participants to allow them to build their own capacity which will in turn build the capacity of their rural communities.The interactive workshops aimed to build resilience and educate the participants by raising their awareness of the benefits and effectiveness of robust yet respectful community conversations. The workshops were also designed to teach practical skills and strategies that will enable the participants to play a lead role in their organisations and communities.
