Power to the People Conference 2022

Building Citizen Driven Communities

‘Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilisation’. (Mahatma Gandhi)

In 2022, Bank of I.D.E.A.S. partnered with Community Minds to bring it to Bankstown! to deliver our annual National Community Development Conference. The theme for the Power to the People 2022 Conference was “Diversity and Inclusion – Cultivating and Celebrating Everyone’s Role in Building Community”.

This year’s Conference was two years in the making due to pandemic set backs but we finally got there.  60 participants gathered from around the country to share and learn community stories of diversity and inclusion.

A special thank you to the Bankstown based organisation Tender Loving Care who sponsored an amazing Conference dinner with live entertainment and a three course meal – definitely a Conference highlight!
