New England Sustainability Strategy
The wellbeing of children, families and communities are at the heart of sustainability and are forming a central part of the development of an innovative 'whole of community' sustainability strategy for the New England Region of NSW.
A Public Forum of 101 community members and leaders is being held as part of Armidale’s annual Sustainable Living Expo (www.slex.com.au <http://www.slex.com.au> ) to provide the means for broad community involvement in the co-creation of the strategy. Eight specialist working groups have analysed sustainability from social, youth, global, Indigenous, cultural, environmental, government, and economic perspectives.
The work is being undertaken by a regional consortium, nicknamed NESSiE (New England Sustainability Strategy Executive), of more than a dozen leading professionals working in sustainability, social and economic development, conservation, strategic planning and governance.
A Wiki-Community – www.ness.wikidot.com <http://www.ness.wikidot.com> – has been created to both enable input and comment as well as provide information about the Strategy and the sustainability of the Region.
Research
In addition to the Student Wellbeing Scoping Study a Scoping Study on Social and Emotional Learning has also just been initiated. More on this in due course.
