PREPARE, continued..

2) You can weave stars and organise volunteers within your community to run regular star weaving workshops with the aim to create a star installation in your local area. 

​

Things to consider:

- Materials/funding for your workshops ie council grants etc

- Safe and clean storage of stars

- Safe and accessible venues for your workshops (public spaces or homes)

- Number of volunteer teachers you will need

- Communication channel for your star weaving teachers (WhatsApp, email, fb msg etc)

- Time frame for your workshops

- Venue for your installation

- Plan for your installation preparation (materials, people power, safety, visibility and accessibility)

​

From experience, it is helpful to have an installation date in mind as it helps people to work towards something and share in a common goal.

​

Once the installation is done, you can still star weave on a monthly or regular basis. Some communities have annual installations in different locations, for example, during the 16 Days of Activism, NAIDOC & Reconciliation Week in Australia and International Women's Day. Again, this is up to you and your community.
