River Stories
University of Newcastle & Outback Arts | Funded by University of Newcastle, Gomeroi Gaaynggal Program
Aboriginal women hold the lore of water, and they have a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land, the sky and the rivers. It is undeniable that if the river and the water is healthy, our communities are healthy, but if the water and rivers are desecrated our social and emotional wellbeing are adversely affected.
River Stories was focused on increasing social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal women in Walgett through delivery of creative workshops and activities that allowed the community to see and use the beauty in the landscape and the community while focusing on leaving a legacy through skills development encouraging the women to share the skills they have gained with other members of the community including the future generation.
EVENTS
2 Rivers can manage entire events, small or large, as required for community or business purposes. The 2 Rivers team have extensive experience managing events in areas of the Arts & Culture, Agriculture, Human Services, and Business events, conferences, markets and festivals.
Allowing 2 Rivers to manage your event will alleviate the hours you need to spend on planning and implementing all areas of the event, which may include organising the site, food, performers, trainers, transport, accommodation, security, rubbish removal, media coverage, council approvals, insurance, invoicing and payments, evaluation and acquittals, and of course, contingencies! 2 Rivers can assist by taking full responsibility for all of these and other actions, or you may only want assistance with some of the jobs.
