Episode 4: Building Community

Written By Erin Playing Protection

Coming direct to you from Aoife’s lounge room. Aoife is one of the founders of Grassroots Gatherings, a volunteer organisation based in Naarm. We chat about the origins of Grassroots and its mission to create inclusive, community-driven spaces.

We also discuss Aoife's approach to building better systems, touching on the transformative power of mutual aid and the importance of multigenerational communities.

The conversation shifts to Aoife’s involvement with Friends of Aileu and the history of Timor-Leste. Together, we reflect on the legacy of colonialism, the resilience of Timor-Leste's people, and the ongoing fight for equity and justice in the region.

This is a beautifully enriching conversation. Thank you wonderful Aoife.
