Join Dear Democracy

We live in a complicated and messy world. The news is hitting us all the time with new disasters and things to be worried about (even more so today than when we started Dear Democracy in 2019). How many of us feel like we should be doing *something* (anything) in response?

In 2021 we are delivering a reimagined Dear Democracy program. Building on 2019 & 2020 versions, Dear Democracy is connecting Riverlanders with ideas, information, mentors and small actions for collective impact on the issues that matter to them.

Dear Democracy in 2021 is an online and asynchronous program, with opportunities for in-person meet-ups and excursions offered across the year. The program kicks off in April 2021 but new-comers can join at any time throughout the year.

Join here.

Dear Democracy is for people who want to be more active citizens and need somewhere to start. Dear Democracy is not about party politics and is not a place for political recruitment or canvassing or any kind. It is a space for local connection and to build grass-roots democracy in action.

About Part of Things:

Part of Things is a new initiative founded in 2019 by award winning Riverland writer, creative producer and community organiser Alysha Herrmann.

PART OF THINGS is a space and connector to bring new ideas to life. It is an experimental gathering place inspired by DIY attitude, entrepreneurial thinking, community service and a ferocious pursuit of "how could this be better?"

Our vision is that when people think of the Riverland, they think quirky and creative experiences in the same way that when people think of Melbourne, they think of fancy coffee. Our mission is to nurture a creative and connected generation of doers in the Riverland region of South Australia. We organise projects, events, gatherings, meetings, workshops, mentoring and everything in between to achieve this mission. We present quirky, unique and memorable experiences created and curated by Riverland artists and thinkers: audio walking tours, immersive theatre, collaborative writing projects, video game jams, intimate concerts, creative based workshop tasters and other gatherings that bring together like-minded people.
