My role as an Assistant Community Organiser at Sydney Alliance is to facilitate table talks and practice active listening to understand people's stories on the issues that impact them. Understanding how the world works and exists in the tension between 'the world as it is' and 'the world it should be' to address social issues and improve our city. I focus on building, maintaining and strengthening relationships with other organisations and all groups of people, therefore, collaborative leadership is obtained and the mutual agenda is established.Community Work/Macro Social Work Practice/Partnerships with the Alliance- Power introduction- Working in Core Teams- Research and Advocacy- Building relationships with organisations, communities, leaders and members- Leadership and Coordination, Collaborative Leadership- Group facilitation- Public Relations- Self-organising- Working with local councils- Public Health and Wellbeing- Uluru Statement, Recognition, Sovereignty and Inclusion- Table Talks, Active Listening- Power Analysis- Critical Thinking and Reflection- Social Action- Public Speaking- Culture awareness and Cultural Competence- Theories inform practiceFOCUSED ISSUES- Cost of living- Climate change- Housing- Urban Geography- International Student Inclusiveness- Work exploitation and work rights- Migration- Uluru StatementINVOLVEMENT- Sydney Alliance- Parramatta Mission- United Workers Union- Sydney Community Forum- Voices of Power- Democracy in Colour- Shelter NSW- Parramatta Local Team
