Going Local: A Relocalisation Convergence
23-25 May - Brisbane

This May the Ethos Foundation will host an Australian visit by Judy Wicks, co-founder of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE), now a nation-wide movement across the United States.

Starting with her famous White Dog Cafe in Philadelphia, Judy has been a pioneer of the relocalisation movement in the US. Her work over many years has been recognised by a host of national and international awards and she has been featured in numerous books, magazine and newspaper articles, and on conference platforms around the world.

Going Local

A highlight of Judy's visit will be a three-day convergence in Brisbane between 23rd-25th May entitled: Going Local: Building Resilient, Sustainable Communities.

The aim of this gathering will be to share learnings from the great diversity of local projects that focus on the nexus between resilient communities, vibrant local economies, and environmental sustainability.
