The Collingwood Toy Library has engaged some of Melbourne’s most pre-eminent child development experts to come and speak with parents and carers of young children about the value of play.
With the support of the City of Yarra the library will be hosting a series of seminars between October and December that encourage parents to learn more about how crucial play is to their child’s development. Guest speakers will focus on different elements of play, including using play to address behavioural issues or to stimulate a child’s language development or interest in art. Play is critical to a child’s development. It’s how they learn. These seminars will assist in giving parents the knowledge and confidence to help their children grow and develop important life skills. Our expert speakers will offer parents some practical ideas and suggestions for playing with their child and there will be plenty of toys from the library on hand to help illustrate the points being made. The seminars are free of charge and open to all. They will be held at the Edinburgh Gardens Community Room from 7:30pm on 29th October, 12th November, 25th November and 9th December. Further details available by contacting Ian Campbell-Fraser on 0417 943 004. | ||

The Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice, in conjunction with Chincilla Media, are running a series of workshops to promote open source software and it's various applications in a variety of fields. The last workshops that we will be running at CERES Environment Park is: Open Source for NGO's and Small businesses, CERES Environment park, East Brunswick 14th November Time: 1 - 4pm Cost: $25 / $15 Visit CERES Environment Park register. We will also be running some workshops as part of the Digital Fringe Festival at the Horse Bazaar which will focus on the production of media and creative arts with open source technologies. Once the full details of these are know we will let you know. About the Workshops: The world of free, open source and community developed technologies is rapidly expanding, offering massive potential for free and low cost solutions, saving money and supporting collaborative projects run by enthusiasts around the globe. Despite recent widespread adoption of Open Source technologies, the world is still a confusing one, clouded by jargon and stalwart tech heads resenting letting newbies in. The arts, non-profit and small business worlds could especially benefit from adopting some of the hundreds of tools out there, not only to help frequently tight budgets but to also encourage the work of similarly minded people in a different medium. The workshop intends to guide participants through the pitfalls of adopting open source technology, outlining the problems, difficulties and solutions in a friendly and understandable way, presented by individuals who have been through the same experiences and are knowledgeable in the worlds of art, running non-profits / small businesses and technology. We hope to see you there! | ||

Power & Greig: Two singer-songwriters come together from opposite sides of the
proverbial river. Dan Greig - a boho-brazilian gospel freak; Jim Power
- a bearded punk from central victoria, discover their mutual stomping
ground on the bounce of reggae and the toothlessness of bluegrass.
After some time spent fine-tuning the ancient art of the ho-down, and
hand-picking their band of merry mad-men, Power & Greig are
unleashing their debut EP upon the world. Be at the East Brunswick Club
on Thursday 19th of November to see the five piece band play their
original, upbeat set ranging from regga-billy to post-pirate to
riot-folk and everything in between. Pulling together banjo, slide
guitars, double bass, a bunch of instruments you've never heard of,
more harmonies than you can count on one hand, and way too much energy,
you'll be dancing like an idiot in no time. Supported by our good
friends, the magnificent Ida Fox!

SEA LEVEL RISE WALK - 'Port Phillip Rising'
21- 27 November 2009
The sea is already rising at an increasing rate because of climate change.
Scientists are predicting seas will rise globally by more than a metre by the end of this century, and perhaps much more. For example, melting of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating, it contains the equivalent of about seven metres of sea-level rise. Around the world many thousands of communities will be lost, millions of people will be displaced, and the map of the continents will be changed forever.Walk to the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, marking the one metre line above the current sea level to highlight the impacts of sea level rise on people, communities and landscapes along the way. Sorrento - Port Melbourne, November 21 - 27 We aim to walk between 15 and 20 kilometres a day, and we welcome local people and organisations to join us for sections of the walk. We will hold a number of public forums on the way (possibly one in the southern Peninsula, one in Frankston, one in St Kilda). We aim to finish the walk at Port Melbourne, where we will hold a press conference. The walk has been initiated by Friends of the Earth Melbourne in partnership with the Victorian Climate Action Centre.

The workshops are a practical and lively discussion of ideas on greening up your rental property. We step through the typical rental property area by area, looking in detail at what you can do as well as general lifestyle changes. There will be demonstrations and samples of some of our favourite recipes and tutorials to try and take away, showing you just how easy it is to achieve noticeable and tasty results! The last workshop is : 21st November All workshops run from 1 - 4pm and cost $25/$15 CERES members/concession Visit the website. or email us to register for a workshop. Green renters is a website for those striving to lead sustainable and ecological existences within the confines of rental property. Frustrated by constantly attending conferences and exhibitions that only provide products and advice to home owners, the website provides hints and tips for those who are unable to make major changes to a property but still intend to spend many years and call somewhere home. We’re open for contributors, ideas, comments and proposals for projects, especially conversations about policy relating to renters and landlords. Alongside the web site green renters is available for workshops, stalls, presentations and panels with a whole host of tips, advice and home made goodies. Start: 15:30

Cross station. However, the growth of the railway system in the
mid-19thcentury led to the elimination of the hill on which Batman's
homestead once stood. Other significant changes to the natural
landscape of what is now Melbourne include the removal of two bends in
the Yarra near the Botanic Gardens and the creation of two islands in
the river. These are just a few examples of the "lost landscape" and
vanished ecosystems that Gary Presland so eloquently reconstructs in
this illuminating natural history of Melbourne at the time of European
settlement. However, this is much more than an exploration of how man
shaped the landscape. It also shows how the rocks, soil, water,
weather, flora and fauna influenced the growth and shape of the city
itself." (Fiona Capp, The Age, February 19 2009)

The Collingwood Toy Library has engaged some of Melbourne’s most pre-eminent child development experts to come and speak with parents and carers of young children about the value of play.
With the support of the City of Yarra the library will be hosting a series of seminars between October and December that encourage parents to learn more about how crucial play is to their child’s development. Guest speakers will focus on different elements of play, including using play to address behavioural issues or to stimulate a child’s language development or interest in art. Play is critical to a child’s development. It’s how they learn. These seminars will assist in giving parents the knowledge and confidence to help their children grow and develop important life skills. Our expert speakers will offer parents some practical ideas and suggestions for playing with their child and there will be plenty of toys from the library on hand to help illustrate the points being made. The seminars are free of charge and open to all. They will be held at the Edinburgh Gardens Community Room from 7:30pm on 29th October, 12th November, 25th November and 9th December.

SEA LEVEL RISE WALK - 'Port Phillip Rising'
21- 27 November 2009
The sea is already rising at an increasing rate because of climate change.
Scientists are predicting seas will rise globally by more than a metre by the end of this century, and perhaps much more. For example, melting of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating, it contains the equivalent of about seven metres of sea-level rise. Around the world many thousands of communities will be lost, millions of people will be displaced, and the map of the continents will be changed forever.Walk to the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, marking the one metre line above the current sea level to highlight the impacts of sea level rise on people, communities and landscapes along the way. Sorrento - Port Melbourne, November 21 - 27 We aim to walk between 15 and 20 kilometres a day, and we welcome local people and organisations to join us for sections of the walk. We will hold a number of public forums on the way (possibly one in the southern Peninsula, one in Frankston, one in St Kilda). We aim to finish the walk at Port Melbourne, where we will hold a press conference. The walk has been initiated by Friends of the Earth Melbourne in partnership with the Victorian Climate Action Centre. We hope you can join us Cam Walker and Damien Lawson Click here for more info | ||
