Doing Something Good collaborated with Vic Health to facilitate a 1 Day Forum that explored ways to shape a better alcohol culture in Victoria. We bought together researchers, healthcare providers, changemakers, venue owners, youth workers, service design professionals, social entrepreneurs, policy makers, behaviour change specialists, and representatives from organisations working on youth and mental health issues. The Forum gave participants the opportunity to connect, learn, exchange useful information and provide a space for conversations that matter. The format incorporated innovative methodologies including World Café and Open Space with an opening keynote presentation and 10 Lightning Talks throughout the day.

6. creative jammin’ principles
1. Be present.
Focus on what you’re doing right now and pay
attention to every aspect of what you’re doing: to your
body, your senses, your thoughts.
2. Accept everything as an offer.
Receive thoughts, ideas, questions or comments of
others as a gift.
3. There are no mistakes.
Only invitations into a new level of creativity: breaking
patterns and allowing new ones to emerge.
4. Make everyone else look good.
You do not have to defend or justify yourself or your
position - others will do that for you and you do that
for others.
5. Be changed by what is said.
Accept your reaction as an opportunity to take a new
or expanded perspective to inspire new ideas.
6. Keep the energy going.
No matter what is given, or what happens, accept it
and keep moving.
7. Serve the good of the whole.
Always carry the question, "How can I best serve this
situation?"
8. Yes and ...
Fully accept what is happening and what is being
offered, and add a NEW piece of information - that is
what allows it to be adaptive, move forward and stay
generative.
Inspired by 7 Basic Improv Principles with thanks to Michelle James (creativeemergence.com)

A CHANCE TO SPEAK

10. Why alcohol?
In Victoria each year:
• 21,460 treatment episodes where alcohol was the principal drug of
concern
• 8,349 ambulance attendances in metropolitan Melbourne where alcohol
was identified as a contributing factor
• 29,694 alcohol-related hospital admissions
• 6,768 alcohol-related assaults
• 14,015 family incidents involving alcohol
• 1,932 serious or fatal road injuries during high alcohol hours
• 1,214 alcohol-attributable deaths in Victoria, which is 3.4 per cent of all
Victorian deaths
10

11. What we do
Influence the widespread acceptance of intoxication in the community
11

12. What we do
Support work in sports, education, social and workplace
settings to foster safer drinking
Support the work of organisations who help people to drink less
12

13. What we do
Effective policy and law to reduce alcohol related harm
Fund world-class research
13

14. Why the innovation challenge?
We want ideas that aim to:
- Reduce the amount Victorians drink, particularly
those who drink a lot, often
- Increase the acceptability of saying not to a
drink, or drinking a bit less.
