We’re excited to be offering a series of workshops for our members to have their voices heard during the Design stage of YeS 2026. The workshops will be focused on designing a 3-5 year plan on how we mobilise as a movement in Australia. That includes what’s working and the challenges of maintaining and growing membership, and how you can be involved in shaping how this is developed into the future. Ultimately, we want to be part of a robust sustainable movement , with Y advocacy strengthening in local, regional, national and international networks responding to formal and informal gender-equality mechanisms.
The workshops will take you on a journey through our current member infrastructure, including our approach to advocacy and we will be asking our members what progress looks like into the future, as well as discussing critical issues such as decolonisation and gender equality work, the challenges and opportunities of mobilising nationally as a movement, and how we can maximise our impact and fulfil on our vision of a future where gender equality is a reality.
