“National Civil Society Strategy for a New Economy”

Dr Michelle Maloney  - A short introduction to NENA’s “National Civil Society Strategy for a New Economy”

NENA PERTH HUB invites individuals, collectives and organisations to join us and co-create a Civil Society Strategy and Action Plan for the New Economy.

Our goal is to map out pathways to create a strong local economy that centres community and ecological needs and acknowledges the Aboriginal peoples of this land as key actors in this process. We hope that by developing a collective strategy and plan we are better placed to support each others’ objectives, build stronger networks and foster transformation and change.

We welcome diverse voices who are willing to contribute to nurturing and sustaining a just and inclusive region, polity and economy. We are inviting people from sectors including Indigenous community and other local community organised sectors, health, education, energy, housing, land management, tourism, food production, research, fine and creative arts, banking and finance, production, retail, management and more.

Once developed, our local strategy and action plan will feed into the development of the National Civil Society Strategy for a New Economy, being developed by the New Economy Network Australia (NENA). As one of the first regional plans created by NENA, our strategy will set an example that will inspire and assist other regions around Australia to create their own action plans.

About the Hub
The Perth Hub is a portal to the Sectoral Hubs and at the moment only attended via zoom.

In the coming weeks and months, we are hoping to inject the hub into the many communities that make up Perth, rather than be a space that is centrally attended and/or located.

From Mandurah to Two Rocks and Beyond..... let's hold space for what we believe is ecologically healthy and how we see a socially just economy.

Through collective strategies we aim to build a strong movement of people demanding, creating and benefiting from a local and ‘new’ economy in our region and with the wider NENA network around Australia and the world.
