The 8 evening workshops will be held on:

• Monday 23 March
• Thursday 9 April
• Monday 20 April
• Monday 4 May
• Monday 18 May

Throughout the workshops we will:

• Understand the Merri-bek community and how we can partner with Council.
• Explore potential project ideas drawn from Moreland's Living and Ageing Well Framework.
• Develop a project plan.

In the workshops Council staff and other professionals will present information and provide training. At the end of the workshops we will have developed an age-friendly project concept and project plan to be delivered in July and November. The program will be delivered in English.

We're looking for people who:

• Have a desire to participate in a collaborative program.
• Are available to participate in the program from March to November 2020.
• Are well connected to local community networks and/or have willingness to engage local communities.
• Have a passion for representing the whole community.
• Have a desire to learn, experiment, and build new skills and experiences.

If you are not able to participate in the full Ambassadors Program, you can be involved in other ways:

1. Supporter: Help deliver the age-friendly community projects between July and November 2020.

2. Community: Provide your feedback when we are doing community engagement and data collection projects.
