CREATING SPACES

Community Renewal Conference Newcastle, 12-14 March 2013

Workshop Session 5 // Managing Expectations

Managing expectations can be the difference between an initiative flourishing or flailing. You'll need to be sensitive to the expectations of the whole community whilst advocating for all parties directly involved (creatives, property owners, volunteers, other small business owners, community, partners). Learn how to balance expectations, engage with the media and use other channels to deliver your mission.

Speakers: Marni Jackson (Renew Newcastle), Dan Thompson (Empty Spaces Network), Ianto Ware (Sounds Australia)
