Conferences
The Queensland Community Development Conference has been held biennially since 1974 in different regional locations across Queensland.
The Community Development tradition in Queensland has maintained its role as a field of practice committed to a vision, and is rooted in values that include the pursuit of social justice and human rights. These aims begin when ordinary people commit to dialogue and solidarity building - through discussions at home, in their workplaces, with their neighbours, in their community groups and organisations. Driven by Community Development (CD) QLD and hosted by regional partners, the aim of the conference is to inspire, celebrate and develop a shared approach to citizen-led community development. CD is a field of practice that supports community members or citizens to bring about positive change in their local communities.
This state-wide conference is the main vehicle through which CD practitioners and community members can come together for professional development, to share stories of best practice, and to support each other in their community development and positive change efforts.
