Display of female councilors in the Geelong region developed and displayed. 100 years of International Women’s Day recognized with a series of workshops that started on 8 March 2011. These workshops involved local women who had recently become Australian citizens working with 2 local artists to create artworks on the theme of The Shape of Life. Images of the artworks have been used to create six banners that will be flown around the City every year on International Women’s Day. The banners were presented to female councilors on 17th April 2011. Geelong Women in Local Democracy (WILD) Forum 18 April 2011 – 3x3 Action Plan generated.

Invite schools to participate in a Growing Local Democracy Program.
