Telling stories

On Tuesday 5 April, the Australian Stories of Social Enterprise publication was launched – a result of a collaboration between The Centre for Social Impact and Parramatta City Council. It is the first of its kind in Australia.
The stories explored in the book cover a diverse range of social enterprises, from recycling mattresses, to street coffee carts, cafes and restaurants, renewable energy, printing, digital technology and many more.
Thirty-five face-to-face interviews with thirty-three organisations were conducted between 2009 and February 2010. The stories presented provide a snapshot of the interviewees’ perspectives on their own and their organisations’ experiences.
The book is attached below.
