Looking to get more involved in your community and make a difference in your neighbourhood? Here are four easy ways to get started: 1️⃣ Join local Facebook groups and pages: Stay informed about neighbourhood happenings and connect with your neighbours. Share information, seek recommendations, and even organize events. 2️⃣ Introduce yourself to neighbours with baked goods: A small gesture like freshly baked cookies or bread can foster relationships and build community spirit. 3️⃣ Join a neighbourhood association and attend meetings: Have a voice in local matters and help shape the future of your community. Stay informed and contribute to discussions. 4️⃣ Attend local events: Block parties, festivals, and community fairs provide opportunities to meet new people, enjoy entertainment, and deepen community bonds. By taking these simple steps, you can make a positive impact, foster connections, and create a sense of community in your neighbourhood.🏡 #hickeyhq #itsagoodlife #staging #letusguideyouhome #design #makethehomeyours #lovewhereyoulive #yegrealestate #yegsold #yegre #communityengagement #neighbours #buildingconnections #localinvolvement #communitymatters

It's great to see another Mara Consulting project get the green light. But as the Newcastle Herald article points out, there was "fierce community opposition". For me, this is why tokenistic terms like "Social licence" don't cut it. Why? It's such a misleading term that does nothing for improving outcomes for communities. It also sets the false expectation that community opposition leads to stopping projects and there must be acceptance of a project's or oranisation's operations by stakeholders. ❓ I'm keen to hear from other fellow engagement practitioners about what our role is in contentious projects if social licence is out of the equation? ❓How do you define what's negotiable to be clear about the input you're seeking? ❓How do you add value and focus on outcomes that are meaningful to the community? I'm looking forward to speaking on the topic ‘Why social licence is so 1990s’ at the upcoming NewH2 Hunter Energy Symposium later this month and exploring how engagement should be a strategic business tool rather than just seen as having a cuppa with a landowner or sponsoring the local footy team. #HNES2024 #CommunityEngagement
