From Tourism to a Visitor Economy..

• Visitor come to Tasmania for many reasons – not just leisure holidays • Visitor activity and spend now underpinning many sectors of the economy – not just hospitality and transport (property construction, creative industries, arts, agriculture) • Tasmania is now a world leading example of a successful small visitor economy.

From Protest Signs to the Twitterverse: How Activism has Evolved to Stay Relevant Presentation

Christine Milne AO Tasmanian Icon

Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn Tasmania Schools Coordinator, Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC)

• We are nearing the end of the critical decade for action on climate change … Our ‘leaders’ don’t show us leadership.

• The current climate crisis is not caused by the environment: it’s about people and power structures

• People power means collectively working together.

• Need to use screens to connect, not to disconnect. Often people don’t see you face-to-face online.

• Coalitions are where diverse groups come together  bumping points

It’s hard! Activism needs - Time - Energy - Supportive networks

BE AN INTERACTIVIST - Ask yourself: What can you do to create a safe climate future, online & turning up IRL?
