Common Good Convention - Townsville

Join the 2026 Common Good Convention to be part of transforming our state through deep, strong relationships for public action. Our communities are facing huge challenges in a political climate that is turbulent, lacking in trust and deeply polarised. We face physical barriers that deepen social divides; and social media algorithms that give us the feeling of being hyper connected at a time when we are spending very little time with other people. The civil society organisations that make up our Alliance are amazing spaces, which shape our values and recognise our humanity. It is here that we meet one another as people with value. Not a client to sell something to, or target of clickbait or algorithms. But sometimes even we falter in our ambition to have strong, relationally connected communities and organisations that are able to care for their members and live out their mission. At the Common Good Convention, people will come together, face to face, in real time to meet each other all across Queensland. With at least five in-person actions, connected via video link we will gather to talk about what it means for civil society to be strong in 2026. This event page is for the Townsville action . If you want to host something in your community, please email [email protected]. There is a separate event page for each of our actions.
