Australian Fair Food Forum

Community food enterprise shared learning day

We’d love to invite you to our Shared Learning Day on Thursday April 11!

The day runs 12-4:45, please RSVP via Eventbrite: https://openfoodnetwork.eventbrite.com.au

Shared Learning Days give those running Community Food Enterprises an opportunity to connect, converse and support one another by sharing their experiences. By coming together and collaborating to tackle shared challenges, Community Food Enterprises can stand stronger, building their enterprises and strengthening the fair food sector as a whole.

On this day, we’ll be both sharing lessons amongst existing Community Food Enterprises, but also helping design systems for a new enterprise - a 90-hectare Community Farm with a connected food hub, based in Whittlesea.

Past Shared Learning Days have been attended by farmers’ markets, cooperatives, farmers and food justice charities, which gives attendees the chance to view fresh perspectives and learn from others’ experiences. Attendees have found the event to be a valuable and rare opportunity to step back from their day-to-day operations, reflect on their progress, open up to new ideas and make plans for the future.

To provide the most value to attendees we will tailor the agenda and content of the day to participants’ needs, so we’ll ask what ideas or challenges you would like to explore on the day. Lunch will be provided, with activities beginning over lunch, so please be prompt!

We look forward to seeing your faces at what will surely be a spirited day of conversation, ideas and learning!
