Tell Us Your Story<\/h2>\n

We can all work to create belonging: for ourselves, for our families, and for our neighbours.<\/p>\n

We can do this by focusing on genuine inclusion and connection, making others welcome, and by building respectful relationships with those around us.<\/p>\n

As we approach Relationships Australia\u2019s 75th year, we want to highlight the amazing contributions of RA Staff across the country. As part of our social connection campaign Neighbours Every Day<\/a>\u00a0we are inviting staff at each member organisation to \u2018Tell Us Your Story\u2019. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Brief:<\/h3>\n

This brief is intentionally non-prescriptive, and your entry can be as simple or creative, as you like.<\/p>\n

There are two categories.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Individual<\/li>\n
    2. Group \/ team challenge<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There is a prize for the best entry from each state and territory in each category. This will be judged by National Office \u2013 and their decision is final!<\/p>\n

      Whatever you do, you just need to be able to upload your entry (i.e., what it looks, sounds, or reads like) digitally via the online entry form.<\/p>\n

      Whatever it is (!) your entry should help us understand your story about what \u2018Create and Share Belonging\u2019 means to you.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Fostering a sense of belonging involves genuine connection, inclusivity, and respect for everyone’s unique contributions.<\/p>\n

      Entries are open until 20 November 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n
