In light of growing concern regarding the treatment of Covid-19 in Australia, Regeneration makes this statement:

As an avid supporter of community programs that contribute to the health and wellbeing of Australians, Regeneration fully supports the intent of the Federal Government’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
We also acknowledge and support the right to free speech. However, this does not extend to the endorsement of personal opinions held by individuals affiliated with our project.

I’m really sorry to have to let you know that, owing to the current situation with Covid-19, the University isn’t allowing any of its staff to travel outside the ACT for non-operational purposes, and that – sadly – means that we are going to have to postpone, again, our visit to Forage in Tumbarumba to work with you all on 7th August. We are incredibly disappointed by this, as we are still very committed to working with you all, and still very keen to do what we can to assist the Snowy Valley community.

We have all the pieces for the visit in place, and the moment that things open up again, we will find a suitable date and get out there. If you’ve registered for it, then we will be back in touch the moment we know anything. And in the meantime, we’ll be working in the coming days and weeks to try and find other ways that we might be able to keep Regeneration moving forward for you all.

I hope that you are all doing as well as possible in these uncertain times. If you have any questions or ideas or suggestions, do feel free to drop us a line at [email protected] or in the comments below– we’d love to hear from you.

Are you an artist or maker thinking about attending our Tumbarumba Artist and Maker Information Sessions on August 7th, but aren't sure what you're signing up for? This is the post for you!

Artists and makers who volunteer to become involved in the project will do three things:

We’ll give you free access to training in Trauma Informed Care. This is the same training that is provided to people who work for the emergency services, and is provided by Phoenix Australia.
We’ll provide you with support to run your own trauma informed creative workshop. For many people, this just means doing the kind of art/craft workshop in your area of expertise (pottery, weaving, painting, photography, leatherwork, etc.) that you’ve always done. The main difference is that we can provide a small amount of money for supplies and venue hire if needed, and we will also provide you with information and tips how to include running trauma informed care into your workshop.
Finally, we’ll ask you to help us collect some information about your experiences and those of the people doing your workshops so we can better understand how helpful the training was, and what we can do in the future to better support other artists and communities.

In short: you complete an online course, then you run a workshop (pottery, weaving, visual arts, photography: whatever your creative expertise is) and finally, you fill out some surveys and participate in an interview. We’re asking you do donate about 8 hours of your time to do the trauma informed care training, and another few hours to run a workshop and talk to an interviewer. Since you may be already running workshops, this will fit in with you.

If you have any questions about the information sessions, we'll be happy to answer them in the comments below, and we'll be sharing more information over the next few weeks as August draws nearer!

Have you been thinking about attending our Tumbarumba Artist and Maker Information Sessions on August 7th, but aren't sure what to expect? Here's a quick rundown:

The information sessions will be presented by Sam Hinton and Vahri McKenzie, two creative artists and researchers who work for the University of Canberra and who are involved in the ReGeneration Project.

The first hour will be an overview of the ReGeneration Project and Trauma Informed Care, to give you as much information as we can so you can decide if you want to get involved. There will be plenty of time for Q&A too!

In the second hour we’ll be joined by other local artists who have already signed up for the program, and we’ll talk more specifically about how to run a workshop, when to schedule it, and what kind of help we can give you.

If you have any questions about the information sessions, we'll be happy to answer them in the comments below, and we'll be sharing more information over the next few weeks as August draws nearer!

Hi All,
Due to COVID restrictions, we have had to reschedule the Tumbarumba information sessions planned for this weekend, the 5th of July. They are now scheduled for Saturday, 7 August, and the event dates have been changed to reflect this. Thank you for your patience, we hope to see you in August!

Calling all artists and makers

Are you an artist, craftsperson or maker? Do you run creative workshops in the community or are you interested in running one? If so, the ReGeneration Project welcomes you to join us at Forage in Tumbarumba for a 2-hour information session seminar on Sunday 11 July from 11-1, followed by a light lunch. In this information session we’ll tell you some more about the ReGeneration Project and how you can be a part of it.

Regeneration Artist and Maker Information Session
Forage, Tumbarumba, Sunday July 11, 2021
11.00am-12.00pm & 12.00pm-1.00pm

Well we've made our first arts trip into Snowy Valleys to work with wonderful people in Batlow, Tumbarumba, Adelong and Tumut. You really are the most generous and kind people.

The Regeneration way is this:
- Work with local creatives in the community by providing trauma informed training in how to have the hard conversations and how to structure their workshops to make room for people to talk about whatever they need to talk about.

-Enlist the support of local health professionals to provide support where it's needed, both in the workshops and after.

-Fund the local creatives to run more workshops. Regeneration hires venues, pays the artists, bus the material, provides catering costs.

- Help local creatives acquire more grant funding to keep programs going for the longer term.

We were magnificently supported by so many on our first trip a few weeks ago. By Forage and Artists on Parade in Tumba, the CWA and Robyn from B:Atelier in Batlow, Tumut Art Society, Snowy Valley Council. To name only a few. Snowy Valleys has so many talented creatives who gave of their time and wisdom.

Can't wait to be back with you building on these successes.

The team are off to Kangaroo Island next week to work with our next community.

ADELONG WORKSHOP TODAY IS AT 2PM AT ADELONG FALLS. IT'S FULLY BOOKED. SEE YOU THERE.

Thanks Snowy Valleys for voting with you feet and filling up our free workshops.

We’ve got a few spaces left in these:

Saturday: Graffiti Workshop at the Batlow Skate Bowl at the Showgrounds with Canberra Graffiti artist Byrd. Over 13 years.

Break a book for Arts: 2pm - 4.30 pm Tumbarumba, in the workshop at the back of Artists on Parade.



ALL FREE, ALL FUN!

Regeneration Snowy Valleys, Australia, 1st of March | Humanitix Regeneration brings free, relaxing creative workshops to Australian bushfire affected communities along with health support. The project also aims to develop a model of creative arts for wellbeing in disaster affected communities. Its initial pilots are funded with donations raised by Magda Szubansk...

Regeneration is coming to Snowy Valleys bushfire affected communities in March.

Are you a creative living in the Snowy Valleys region? Are you interested in receiving some support to run workshops in your art, craft, writing or performance practice for local community members?

During this round, you would need to commit to doing some online training in how to work with people in the classroom setting who've experienced bushfires . We pay you $100 to do this training. Then, on either 1 March or 2 March, you would need to commit to a three hour session to assist you in designing your workshop (at least one of these sessions will be on the evening of Monday 1 March to accommodate artists who work during the day).

Then a few weeks later, we pay you to run a workshop for locals. We organise the venues, we buy the materials, and we ensure that there is adequate support for participants from community professionals.

If you're interested or would like to know more, give us your details at:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BXD5B9T

We'll get back to you within 24 hours.
