Think, Act, Do: Resources shared during the webinar ‘Measuring Outcomes and Impact at the Community Level’

July 16, 2021 By Administrator

This SIMNA webinar took place on Thursday 15 July 2021. During the webinar, our three panellists took on the challenge of guiding us through how to measure the impact of local or ‘community’ based initiatives. Long story short, there is no easy answer!

Each speaker made reference to published reports and/or other reference materials.

These are listed below:

Aden Date, Arts, Media and Social Impact Specialist

  • Referenced the work of Ferdinand Tönnies: Community and Society
  • Referenced Nick Juniper’s recent work at The Fulcrum Agency
  • Referenced the Logan Together Collective Impact Initiative
  • Referenced Traditional Knowledge Labels

Anthea Hancocks, CEO of the Scanlon Foundation and CEO of the Scanlon Foundation Research Institute 

  • Referenced the Scanlon-Monash Index (SMI) of Social Cohesion
  • Referenced ‘The Welcoming Cities’ Standard for cultural diversity and inclusion policy and practice in Local Government

Megan Whittaker, Manager of Social Outcomes at City of Parramatta Council 

  • Referenced the City of Parramatta’s Socially Sustaible Parramatta Framework
  • Referenced the City of Parramatta’s Socially Sustainable Parramatta – Indicators Framework Summary
