- Do you want to find ways to balance a community and business model?
ACRE is hosting a series of online conversation to shine a spotlight on community-led initiatives that are creating employment opportunities, addressing environmental challenges, ensuring ongoing supply of vital services, reviving and sharing cultural practice and generating new revenue for rural communities.
Meet rural people who are driving change within and for their community – with incredible results. Hear the back story behind community-led initiatives – the high points, stumbles and break-through moments along the way. Come away with new insights about community-led rejuvenation and build your understanding about enterprise models that can be used to start, grow and sustain a community-led initiative.
