The Pacific Calling Partnership is pleased to announce our new online climate leadership course
The Australian Pasifika Climate Leadership Program
This course has been specifically designed for members of the Pacific Island community living in Western Sydney. Course applications close on Monday 3 August 2020.
The course will involve weekly online learning modules from mid-August to mid-October 2020, followed by the implementation of a climate advocacy project chosen by each participant from October to December 2020.
As an emerging leader, participants will develop the relevant skills and knowledge needed to play a role in building climate awareness and action in Pacific Island communities, as well as the broader Western Sydney community.
Participation in the course is free and there will be a small allowance provided to participants.

Update from Edmund Rice Camps SAIt’s fair to say 2020 is not the year anyone of us had anticipated. What was originally planned as a year to celebrate 30 years of Edmund Rice Camps in South Australia, has instead become a year of opportunity for innovation, reflection, and action. Our Camps At Home website is an example of the innovation that has come from these challenging times. Through the website, we’ve been able to create a place where our campers and volunteers can come together in a safe and controlled environment, and in some small way, feel connected through the time of isolation. |

Edmund Rice Centre - Mirrabooka Perth WAIt's not every day you find yourself enjoying afternoon tea in the company of the Honorable Kim Beazley, Governor of Western Australia. It was an absolute pleasure to share our experiences with the man who symbolizes the epitome of great leadership himself. |

‘Disaster Capitalism’Recently you might have seen this phrase mentioned. It really means an established pattern of capitalists exploiting the cover of disasters to introduce (or entrench) extractive policies without sufficient scrutiny. The message is simple. We need to stay alert to these manoeuvres and avoid distractions. The pressing need for economic recovery in the face of the current disaster could cover a range of such exploits. (thanks to last weekend’s Eureka Street)
