Big Esso to Our Community

Big esso to everyone who joined us throughout this year’s webinar series. Our final yarn on Racism and Cultural Load sparked powerful reflections, honest storytelling, and an outpouring of generosity in the chat.

Your words stayed with us. Some of the comments that really touched our hearts included:

• “This webinar was the best I have participated in – I run D&I webinars. It was something I would like to emulate. Powerful, refreshingly practical and honest!”

• “Puts fuel in my tank and helps me wanting to share or roll rocks uphill. You have the words and veracity. Gentle and effective.”

• “I love Evolve Communities’ model – no shame, no blame, First Nations and Ally modelling, Practical Reconciliation, interactive.”

Hearing your experiences and reflections reminds us why these conversations matter—and why we keep showing up together.

A Year of Connection, Learning, and Allyship

In 2025, more than 12,000 people joined our public webinar series. Your presence, courage, and curiosity continue to shape the supportive and respectful community we are building together.

This year, we explored some of the most important conversations facing Australia today:

• Australia Day / Survival Day

• Closing the Gap

• National Reconciliation Week

• NAIDOC Week

• Aboriginal Languages

• Cultural Safety

Every question, every story, and every act of Allyship moved us closer to a kinder, more culturally safe, more inclusive Australia.

What’s Coming in 2026: Bigger, Deeper, Even More Educational

We’ve listened carefully to your feedback. In response, we’re creating an even bigger public webinar series for 2026, with deeper education, more opportunities for reflection, and an expanded calendar so more organisations and individuals can participate.

More information is coming early in the new year—but trust us, it will be our most impactful series yet.
