Community Events for Strengthening Local Economy Event Organisation Checklist

This checklist is useful for event organisers organising community events to strengthen the local economy following the permaculture ethics: earth care, people care and fair shares.

The questions are designed to help you reflect about each element of your event from a whole systems perspective.

1. How will the community at large benefit from this event?
2. How will the community event strengthen the local economy?
3. How will the community event care for the earth, people and include fair shares?
4. What local community weaving can help this event by more successful?
5. How will you leave the event venue better than you found it?
6. How will this event be accessible and inclusive?

1. Date - what day would be best for your community to meet?
2. Time - what times would enable the most people to come?
3. Avoiding conflicting events whenever possible- if there are other events on the day could collaboration work?
4. Location - Are there popular community areas which could be used for this event
