You can host your own Pace e Bene Australia program for your own group. Here's how...
Hosting responsibilities
Secure a Venue.
It is the responsibility of the host to provide venue arrangements, setting the time, location, and equipment for the event. It is up to the host to choose the most beneficial location for the event (i.e. sometimes churches or schools may provide the space free of charge, but other times they require a rental fee). The host will assume the venue hire cost if there is one.
Publicity.
It is the responsibility of the host to publicise the event in your local community and do outreach to the local media. Pace e Bene will help publicise the event through our website, email outreach and social media. We can also provide images and other flyer information at your request
Assist with Resource Sales.
Generally, we ask that the host provide a person to staff a table to sell Pace e Bene resources (books, CDs, DVDs, t-shirts, cards, etc.). Depending upon the location, Pace e Bene may be able to provide someone to fill this role
Circulate Sign-Up Sheets.
Pace e Bene will provide the host with blank sets of the Pace e Bene free e-newsletter signup sheets. Putting one on each seat works best, though they can also be distributed during the event. Please arrange to send completed sheets to Pace e Bene after the event.
FEES AND LOGISTICS
Housing.
Hosting a Pace e Bene workshop or speaking event typically includes a program fee, travel expenses, and hospitality for the facilitator(s)
Program Fee.
Pace e Bene has a standard fee schedule for speaking or workshops events. Contact us for more information. We'll help. Pace e Bene will work with groups to explore how to meet these expenses (partnering with other organisations, seeking funding to subsidise all or part of these expenses, setting the ticket or registration fee, taking a freewill offering at the event, etc.).

NEXT STEPS
Once the host has made a commitment to sponsor a Pace e Bene workshop or speaking event, Pace e Bene will confirm with the host the exact schedule and fees, then send the host a written contract, which must be signed and returned to Pace e Bene. Pace e Bene will work with the host to make sure that the event best meets the needs of your organisation.

Cost No Barrier Policy
Pace e Bene exists to spread the power of active nonviolence, and therefore will work to ensure that if a group wants to host a Pace e Bene program, a way to do this will be found. In some cases, this means working with the group to reduce the standard fee, depending on the size of its annual budget and limited resources.
