TAG: The Adaptation Game

Keep your eyes and ears open 👀👀

We are absolutely thrilled to announce TAG: The Adaptation Game is coming to Moonee Valley 👏🏽

We're partnering with to build a local version of TAG based on the climate scenarios that will affect the streets and suburbs we live in 🏡

In 2026, we'll host a series of playful workshops simulating local impacts so we can build resilience and create community-led solutions, together 👥

If you'd like to find out more or get involved, please drop us a line at [email protected] 📩

When we talk, plan and prepare together, we're stronger 💪🏽

Community power for the win!

"Positive action sometimes starts with just one person who refuses to give up. At 62, Laurene taught herself the science to take on a factory polluting her neighbourhood’s water supply and won."

Yay for some good news ✨

As the days get longer and the nights get shorter, we are making our way from Winter to Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere. 🌏

After the inwardness that Winter can bring, Spring is a reminder to look outward and again and take stock of what's around us.

Which is to say, we've finally booked another time for an online TAG Webinar. If you're curious about TAG, what it is and how it works, this free 1nr session is for you!

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: The Adaptation Game Webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

There's a new way to play! 🥳

After a really excellent test, we can say that 'TAG: Conference version' works. We'll still need to practice it a little to make it sing, but there's definitely something here.

We're proud that we've been able to take the foundation of this thought-provoking and connection-building game, and tweak it to meet the needs of more players.

Now you can play TAG with just 1 facilitator (and 1 support person) leading up to 30 players at once.

(Feel free to get in contact if you want to experience it up close 😉)

City of Yarra, we're coming back! 🤩

Join us as Bargoonga Nganjin for speedy 90 minute edition of The Adaptation Game.

I didn't even know there was an International Composting Week! 🪱

Check out the post below to see just how easy it is to get your compost going 👇🏼

This week is International Compost Awareness Week. 🪱

Did you know that composting can reduce your household waste by up to 30%?

Composting turns your kitchen scraps and garden waste into nutrient-rich soil, reducing waste and enriching your garden. It's a simple way to help the environment and promote sustainable living.

Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Find a spot with good sun and drainage.
2. Start by adding kitchen scraps like veggie and fruit peels, dry leaves, garden prunings and newspaper.
3. Keep the compost moist by adding water as required to help microorganisms thrive.
4. Turn the compost with a garden fork once a week for more oxygen.

This year, we're bring TAG to Aotearoa New Zealand with the help of the team at Weathering Tomorrow Together - and we're so excited! 🌏

The Weathering Tomorrow Together team have been an early example of a community-led (rather than local government-lead) localisation of TAG, and it's really exciting to see it all come together smoothly. 🤩

Stay tuned for news on upcoming events! 👀
