OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAUNCESTONIANS TO BE COMMUNITY INNOVATORS

This is an ideal opportunity for Launceston people to work together cooperatively and collaboratively to tell their diverse stories. How might they do that? Quite simply the choice is theirs and there are so many stories to be told that have not had the recognition that they need and deserve. Stories and storytelling to do with:

• The histories that are not as well understood as they might be;
• The marking of places that have stories attached to them;
• The making of 'things' that have Launceston stories embedded in them;
• The initiation of projects where Launceston people can lead the way by example;
• The growing of 'things' that need communities to care about;
• Initiate an 'event' that is to do with Launceston as a 'place' however that is imagined by whoever; and
• Much more still!

If places like Launceston are to attract and retain people, it follows that its diverse communities need to be engaged in their creation,  management, placemaking and cultural landscaping.
