Workshop facilitation
We facilitate workshops that generate knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and support effective collaboration.
Community Works has facilitated over 200 workshops across Australia and internationally, including in South Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific.
Our workshops, embedded in broader processes such as project design, community engagement, and organisational development, cover topics from Indigenous community development to research design and program scaling.
Frequent return partnerships reflect the value of our facilitation, recently highlighted in our publication The Mosaic of Facilitation. Cross-cultural and cross-sector collaboration is at the centre of our work.
Examples:
- Collective Impact for Early Childhood Services: Facilitated workshops to promote cross-sector collaboration for improved early childhood outcomes, in an initiative led by a local Aboriginal organisation. (Mulungu)
- Community-Led Development Programs: Delivered regular two-day workshops over eight years, enabling knowledge exchange and mutual learning among up to ten remote Aboriginal communities, focused on services for children and families. (NintiOne)
- Research Co-Design Workshops: Facilitated multi-stakeholder processes with research institutions and partner organisations to collaboratively design research agendas addressing economic, social, and environmental themes. (NintiOne)
- Professional Development for International Delegations: For over 15 years, led capacity-building workshops under DFAT-funded Australia Awards Fellowships, focusing on leadership, project management, rural education, community engagement, and MEL in collaboration with Australian universities.

Community Works acknowledges the First Nations people upon whose lands we operate. We recognise that this land was never terra nullius. Their land was never ceded, given up, bought or sold. We recognise continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to their land, language, waters, sky and culture. We pay our respects to Elders, past present and emerging.
