SUMMARY:Two brand new projects to widen the population discussion. Help us for as little as $2.00!!!
DESCRIPTION:We have launched our first ever on-line crowd funding campaign (in addition to the end of financial year appeal).  Crowd funding is an increasingly popular way for people to raise money to set up specific projects and can be a great way to gain exposure and a new audience. \n  \nSPA is raising funds to launch a mini web series called ‘Tough Crowd‘. We are excited to announce Melbourne Comedian Rod Quantock has come on board to assist.  In his relaxed and amusing ‘conversations in the pub’ style Rod will interview fellow comedians\, entertainers and others about the challenges faced in discussing population in the wider community.  SPA is seeking support through our Pozible campaign to fund the whole project\, including equipment costs\, expenses for our ‘actors’\, venue hire\, promotion and all the other costs associated with the challenge of making a video series! \n  \nThe Pozible campaign can be found here and Rod Quantock’s lively promotional video here.  We would be delighted to have your support and ask too for you to encourage friends\, family\, and your networks to play a part.  This project may appeal to people who might not otherwise consider joining SPA – but they have to know about it first! Even if they choose not to fund the project it is still good publicity. \n  \nWe are also proud to announce that our PopCulture web page is now up and running – you can find it here.  Have a look at our youth unemployment video and share it. Be proud because you and other SPA members previously helped fund this through a donations drive. This site will host future PopCulture videos. That same video can also be found on our newly reinvigorated YouTube channel here. While we plan to undertake online promotion of the videos you\, as members\, can play a role by sharing them widely\, especially with those particularly affected by issues such as job insecurity and housing affordability.  Who knows\, after seeing the videos they too may be motivated to contribute to our ‘Tough Crowd’ campaign! \n  \n(From e-news president message\, Sandra Kanck – National President)

SUMMARY:Partnering: Strength through alliance
DESCRIPTION:The SPA NSW branch will be hosting its first event of 2018\, on the theme of partnering. It will be an afternoon of speakers\, discussion and audience input into NSW SPA activities. For those who will be in NSW on the weekend of the 24th Feb\,  this will be a very worthwhile event to attend. \n  \nSPA seeks to form mutually supportive alliances with other organisations whose values are in line / overlap with SPA’s. We see partnering as enabling for all parties\, through co-operation in areas where there are the same or similar aims. To this end\, we are hosting an afternoon of speakers and discussion. \n  \nWe have invited Maggie Chen from the international youth organisation AIESEC\, and Alice Oppen (a SPA member) from Women’s Plans Foundation to give us an insight into the work of their organisations. There will be opportunity to ask questions. \nFollowing an afternoon tea break there will be a facilitated session to enable you to have input into NSW SPA’s activities\, including what we can do to support members. \n  \nSave the date and talk with friends into coming along. \nDetails: \nSaturday 24 February\, Arrive 1.45pm for 2.00pm – 5.00pm \nSydney Mechanics’ School of Arts \n280 Pitt Street\, Sydney \nTo help us with catering\, please email RSVP by 17 February. \nEnquiries: Nola Stewart   nst332769@bigpond.com \n

SUMMARY:Ockham's razor - Questioning growth
DESCRIPTION:Every day we hear politicians\, economists and media commentators telling us how important it is to grow our economy and that the faster it grows\, the better off we are all going to be. But how credible is this plan for perpetual growth\, considering that many of the resources we use are finite in nature? \nHave we all been brainwashed into thinking that more and more growth is the answer to all our problems? Could it be that the myopic pursuit of growth at all costs now is the problem? \nThis public forum may raise more questions than it answers so come along with your thinking caps on as we try to trim away some long-held assumptions and get to the truth about the ideology of growth and where it’s taking us. \nSpeakers: Dr Haydn Washington\, Dr Kerryn Higgs.\nCompered by Quentin Dempster \nFRIDAY NOVEMBER 4\, 6.30pm\nUNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY SYDNEY (UTS)\nLecture theatre 5C.01.031\nBlock C level 1\n1-59 Quay St Haymarket \nEntry by donation \n  \n\n\nFlyer:
