Brimbank council’s free festival and events training program is returning in May to empower local groups to host programs for the benefit of the entire community.
With practical and straightforward resources, groups will be able to make their events as successful as possible, according to the council.
This year, council is offering both in-person training and online sessions that will teach groups how to plan, manage risks and reduce waste at events.
The program will kick-off from May 15 onwards with ‘Takso’ — which is an online platform that allows for enhanced productivity, evaluation, and advocacy.
This in-person session will take participants through all they need to know about using that digital tool and the learnings, reports and benefits it offers for event planning.
The second session will cover the compliance responsibilities event organisers have, with groups getting the opportunity to learn the basics of developing risk and emergency plans for their events.
The final two sessions will focus on the creation of more accessible events and the work that entails, as well as on the waste reduction responsibility those hosting events hold.
Registrations are essential as there are limited spots.
