Connecting Communities Conference 2023
The Connecting Communities Conference is an annual event for the Local Community Services Association (LCSA) - the peak body for Neighbourhood and Community Centres in NSW. Our theme for this year is “Reconnect & Reimagine - Working with local communities into the future” which will explore how we work with communities, develop our workforce and support the sector to be strong and sustainable for tomorrow and beyond.
Neighbourhood Centres and other Community Development Organisations have always played in vital role in acting as a catalyst for local change, by bringing people together, providing non-stigmatising services and activities, by providing local place-based solutions to local issues and most importantly by acting as a conduit between local services, government agencies and other stakeholders to build stronger, connected communities.
The LCSA Conference 2023 provides a unique opportunity to gather together in one place to engage in training, peer support, networking, professional development and social interaction.
The event will include plenary sessions with keynote speakers, guest panelists, interviews, table discussions, workshops and entertainment.
