Capability Building
We raise awareness, inspire people and build knowledge and capability in community wealth building and place based capital. Some examples of our work include:
How communities can own, lead and accelerate their sustainable future
Ethical Fields presented a hybrid (online and in person) workshop for local sustainability leaders interested in accelerating sustainability transitions in their communities. Using the principles of community wealth building and place based capital, participants were introduced to techniques and tools to help build local enterprises, services, ownership and control, and to reinvest benefits back into their communities.

Community Wealth Building in East Gippsland
We held a two day community wealth building workshop as part of FLOAT’s month long festival of community learning and actions. The workshop explored core pillars and principles of community wealth building, mapping them against current activities in East Gippsland, and explored specific community wealth building initiatives that participants wanted to action.

Community Wealth Building capacity building for Ballarat, Vic
Over a two day event with council and community leaders, we explored the current extent of community wealth building in Ballarat and surrounds, informed by the Ethical Fields community wealth building scan. The participants applied community wealth building to four projects from the community and council.

Creating Community Wealth Building business models
Ethical Fields partnered with the WWF to deliver a workshop for participants of the Innovate to Regenerate Program. The workshop was designed to share knowledge, tools and a whole lot of inspiration with the innovative project leaders to show how community wealth building strategies can help them to create regenerative and resilient businesses, projects and local economies.
