Community Involvement

​The Overwintering Project is designed to be an organic, long-term project to raise awareness of migratory shorebirds and their habitat around Australia and New Zealand. As such, organisations such as coast care groups, councils, national parks, schools, galleries, libraries etc are all welcome to initiate their own iterations of the Overwintering Project in whatever way they see fit to engage their local communities with their local migratory shorebirds and migratory shorebird habitat.

​This can include, but is not limited to, group art projects, workshops, talks, site visits, performances, festivals, fundraising events (to raise funds for shorebird conservation), etc. 

For those holding Overwintering Project exhibitions there are many ways communities can become involved. Galleries can host talks or site visits as part of public programs, but community art projects can also be a part of the exhibition itself. Three successful projects that have been run in conjunction with past Overwintering Project exhibitions are The Flock, The ANSTO shorebird drawing competition for primary schools and the Wall of Wings.
