Experience a unique engagement process. Shoot photos, share stories and show what matters to a community.

About this Event

Show what matters™ combines a facilitated photo walkshop with cutting-edge digital engagement tools on the HiVE’s platform.

Join Jacinta Cubis to experience how photography can engage people, and deepen engagement.

Show what matters helps engagement practitioners in state and local government, and construction, infrastructure and transport companies to:

• Involve the ‘hardly reached’

• Appeal to young people

• Engage authentically with people for whom English is not their first language

• Extend the conversation with people who weren’t ‘in the room’ but who are keen to contribute.

• Overcome constraints of face-to-face engagement in a COVID world

How it works

1. We connect with you on your phones through the HiVE’s Visioner tool.

2. You can share ideas, in writing, about what is important for a good life.

3. At the walkshop, you take photos, following carefully designed exercises.

4. Your photos are posted in a shared, online album for comment, discussion and learning about perspectives and each other's lived experience.

You will experience

• The power of photographs to share stories, and show what you think

• New ways of seeing beyond the obvious and your own perspective

• Practical exercises related to your strategic objectives, that can be used with communities

• How photographs can help communities share their lived experience

• How to help people see things from other perspectives

Come and experience for yourself if Show What Matters would be a valuable addition to your community engagement program.
