Before the SEE-Change website was established, Nature and Society Forum hosted SEE-Change information. The following information is held here as a record of the early days of SEE-Change.
The SEE-Change book
Published August 2006
Bob Douglas' book SEE-Change Centres, Grey Power and Hope was published in August 2006. This book shows, in accessible language, what SEE-Change Centres have to offer us that is unique and potentially powerful to stimulate the changes we need and, to now, have lacked in Australia today. Sample a chapter here and an article which neatly encapsulates SEE-Change.
Roundtable
Saturday 17 June 2006
A stimulating and groundbreaking event was held in Canberra on Saturday 17 June - a roundtable discussion about developing an Australian SEE-Change Centre Movement.
The vision for SEE-Change Centres has been outlined in books by Stephen Boyden and Bob Douglas and in a newspaper articles by Bob Douglas here and here. A progress report a 2 October 2006 is here. In essence the centres have been envisaged as community-focused facilities where people of all generations will meet to learn, teach and discuss how we can achieve “healthy people on a healthy planet”. The centres would also be bases for practical action and support to reach that goal.
To explore the feasibility and practicability of developing a national SEE-Change Centre movement, we held an all-day roundtable bringing together a diverse group of 34 Canberrans who we believed could help to develop the ideas further and advise on establishing prototype SEE-Change centres in several suburbs of Canberra.
An overview of the roundtable outcomes and full transcript is available as a .pdf here and the overview is available separately here.
