Youth and community development offerings

Interactive and experiential trainings in Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), Youth Participation, Storytelling for Change, Social Cohesion and Multiculturalism, and Place-Based Practice.

Designed for council and NGO teams, community leaders, volunteers, practitioners, and youth and community enthusiasts, these sessions help build the confidence, skills, and shared language needed to map assets, strengthen collaboration, and spark people-led action across communities and places.

Workshops can be delivered as half-day, full-day, or multi-session series, and are always tailored to local context — blending theory, stories, and participatory activities that turn learning into shared exploration and action.

Working together to achieve meaningful and lasting social impact.

Soulgen’s co-design sessions bring together community members, young people, council teams, and partner organisations to explore local challenges and opportunities, and to create innovative, strengths-based solutions that are practical and people-led.

Each session is tailored to context – and often co-designed with your team and community input – whether it’s developing a new strategy or creative resource, shaping a collaborative initiative or community program, or activating a local space or place.

Through participatory methods, creative facilitation, and shared learning, we help groups move from ideas to action – building ownership, trust, and momentum along the way.

Engaging young people and communities in ways that are genuine, inclusive, and purposeful. Soulgen supports councils, neighbourhood centres, and community organisations to design and deliver consultations that inform strategies, programs, and initiatives with real lived experience.

Whether co-designing a social enterprise concept, refreshing or creating a youth strategy, developing creative resources like podcasts, videos, or eLearning tools, or exploring community priorities across local places, we create spaces where young people, residents, and services can contribute their voices, ideas, and aspirations.

Using participatory and creative methods – from workshops and focus groups to meaningful surveys, storytelling, asset mapping, and visual tools – we turn consultation into collaboration, helping our clients gather insight, strengthen relationships, and spark action grounded in community voice.

Creating moments that connect, uplift, and inspire.

From keynotes and MCing to team-building, youth summits, and wellbeing sessions, Soulgen brings people together through story, creativity, and shared experience.

Each session is tailored to purpose – whether it’s an end-of-year celebration, professional development day, or community or youth gathering. Using psychodrama-inspired and action methods, circle work, and creative arts practices such as drumming, improvisation, and storytelling, we create spaces where participants can reflect, recharge, and reconnect – both individually and as a collective.

Dimitrios and the Soulgen team have facilitated and hosted events for councils, NGOs, universities, interagencies, and community networks across NSW, blending warmth, spontaneity, and depth to make every session memorable and meaningful.

Capturing community voice and showcasing change through creative expression. Soulgen collaborates with councils, youth services, and community organisations to co-create creative resources that bring stories, insights, and outcomes to life.

From videos, podcasts, and eLearning tools to storytelling projects, board games, and exhibitions, these resources are designed to celebrate participation, share learning, and spark local action.

We’ve helped communities develop story-based campaigns, youth-led media projects, and intergenerational storytelling initiatives, ensuring the process itself is empowering and the final outcome meaningful. Each project is shaped by the people and places it represents -transforming ideas and experiences into creative expressions that inspire connection, reflection, and change.
