For takeaway orders, can I bring my own containers?
Certainly, we welcome your containers – in fact, we encourage it! Simply bring your own takeaway container/s to the counter when placing your order.
Community
Why is it so important to think about the future?
Because we are laying the foundations for all that follow us. We believe that community resilience coupled with environmental empathy and regeneration are essential as we move forward.
What can I bring to the community?
Good ancestry habits, an open-mindedness, your experiences and understanding. The skills that work for you.
How do community and skillsets relate?
It would be rare for an individual to have all the skills they require to support their needs, hence we must rely on others within our communities. For example, Do you know who drove the delivery truck that bought the ingredients for your breakfast to where you purchased it from? These unmet friends are part of your community and have skills that you rely on daily.
What’s the difference between an internal and external skillset?
Internal skillsets involve personal understandings of who you are, how you react and how you cope.
An internal skillset is a bit like a 'tool shed' - where in times of interest or challenge you can go to your personal tool shed and select the tool or skill that you need to help you understand or process that particular time.
External skills are skills you learn throughout life that reflect the environment outside of yourself. Skills like this can include you building an understanding of where your food comes from, or how to cook with a solar oven. Both types of skills are equally important.
Is this just something for Port Campbell, or can I tell my friends about this?
The community that we require has fingers way beyond the geography of Port Campbell. Share with those who it feels right to do so!
Events & Experiences
How do I pass on or teach a skill?
Get in touch with me and we can provide a platform and help find your audience!
Can we organise a group-specific workshop or event?
Yes, you can. We can offer selected workshops for between 6 and 12 people at REAL or an alternative venue. Please contact us with your ideas and we'll try and make it happen!
Can we organise volunteer time through REAL?
Yes, we encourage volunteering where we can as it makes our community stronger. Let us know when you have your visit dates, and we can identify activities occurring during your stay and provide link-up contact details with the lead volunteer/s.
I'm worried about my age, what will I get out of this?
Diversity is king! Age to some skills may be a barrier, while to others it will be key. Possessing an open, enquiring mind is age-less.
