A clearer path into participation
At Darebin Intercultural Centre, Alisha redesigned the expression-of-interest programme into three clearer streams for community-led partnerships. The work helped people understand how they could use the Centre, what support was available and how an activity could move from an idea into delivery.
Making access part of delivery
Her work included coordinating Auslan, audio description, access consultation and transport support alongside public programming and partnerships. Access arrangements were considered as part of programme planning and resourcing.
Who the participation pathways supported
Alisha’s programming and partnership work included culturally diverse communities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTIQA+ communities, Deaf and disabled participants, and residents facing financial barriers. Public programming included IC Nights and a Youth Music Production Series.
Community knowledge and organisational processes
A community-led activity depends on both relationships and a usable process. This work connected the Centre’s programming with the practical arrangements that allow people to contribute.
Relevant consulting support
Soft Infrastructure can help organisations review expressions of interest, partnership pathways and programme access, and turn community priorities into workable delivery arrangements.
