BRISBANE TRANSITION HUB presents A WORKSHOP WITH MICHAEL SHUMAN

“It’s not about stopping anything. It’s about starting something - vibrant local economies that will make our cities and towns the places we very much want them to be.”

If you are interested in positive and viable ways to build stronger businesses and communities in the changing economic, environmental and global context, then this workshop is for you. Learn more about:

* The value of small business to sustainable economies
* The importance of local businesses
* Options for investment in local or green businesses and community projects
* Invigorating local economic vitality
* Ways to bring community development and new business creation together
* Building local living economies

Michael Shuman is a noted economist, attorney, author, entrepreneur and Vice President of the Training & Development Corporation. He is widely recognised for his research into the economic advantages of small-scale businesses in an era of globalisation as well as the often over-looked benefits of building local economies.
