Kicking off Stage 1 of EQUiPP

Yesterday, UniSA’s Mount Gambier campus hosted a community outreach event, education session, and community dinner, marking the start of the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour. It also marked the start of the EQUiPP project’s Stage 1: Community Engagement with Dr Louise Wiles, Prof Ian Gwilt and Dr Aaron Davis kickstarting conversations with community members from Mt Gambier and surrounding areas.

As part of our Community Engagement, the EQUiPP team are using large town posters, and custom stickers to map the formal and informal networks that exist in different towns across the region, building a collaborative picture of how we might reach a wide cross section of each community.

Think about where you connect with others; is it at a pub, community centre, library, cafe, sports club, dog park, park run, or somewhere else entirely? These conversations are helping us discover where and how communities in the Limestone Coast and Western Victoria connect and share information.
