Adaptation Stories short film screenings in the Northern Rivers
Local community members across the Northern Rivers are sharing their perspectives of adaptation and resilience through a series of six powerful short film screenings taking place across the region – called Adaptation Stories.
Produced and curated by Living Lab Northern Rivers in partnership with the NSW Reconstruction Authority, the films feature eight Northern Rivers locals each navigating their own journey in response to a rapidly changing climate. Through personal storytelling and grounded local approaches, Adaptation Stories offers a compelling lens into how communities are reimagining their futures and sparks meaningful dialogue about what adaptation means – both within communities and more broadly.
Screenings will be held at multiple Northern Rivers locations between October and December, each followed by Q&As with local community leaders. Audiences will be invited to share ideas, ask questions and connect with others passionate about building a sustainable future for the region.
Tickets are free but limited and registration is essential. Click on your nearest screening to book your ticket.
Business Continuity Workshops
For Northern Rivers businesses and non-profits, we’re holding free, hands-on workshops to help you build a simple, practical Business Continuity Plan that protects your people, purpose, and operations.
Having a clear plan is vital to prepare for the unexpected, so you can safely continue trading and serving the community as soon as possible.
Walk away with:
- a draft Business Continuity Plan tailored to your needs
- tools for actioning and measuring your plan outcomes
- valuable understanding of how to manage disaster risks, in your business and with collaborators.
Workshops are led by Safer Future, and you can also connect with local business champions, chambers, council and support agencies to help with building your plan and resilience.
This Disaster Ready Fund project is funded by the Australian Government and NSW Government.
