roots & tides

Our Approach

CULTURAL CHANGE

Roots & Tides is a regular series of events that transforms climate engagement through culture, arts, and storytelling. By bringing First Nations, multicultural, and local communities together in poetry nights, film screenings, bush food dinners, seasonal gatherings, performances, and music events, the program deepens connections and activates intersectional solidarity.

RELATIONAL CHANGE

By meeting people where they are—culturally, geographically, and politically—Roots & Tides strengthens relationships across First Nations, migrant, and environmental communities. Events are co-designed with First Nations and multicultural community organisations fostering cross-cultural solidarity, intergenerational learning and shared stewardship of land and water, creating networks that sustain collective climate action all year-round.

POLITICAL CHANGE

Each gathering provides clear pathways to action—from local campaigns to skills-based volunteering to mutual aid and fundraising. Through political education, storytelling, and festival activations, communities are empowered to influence policy, support First Nations and frontline-led climate justice and demand systemic change.
