Turnstone Projects works with people through challenge, opportunity and change.
We do this by undertaking research, guiding and facilitating conversations, building relationships, developing and implementing projects, and providing on-going support and mentoring. Our work often creates education and employment opportunities using business models from social enterprise to appropriate investment attraction.

Partnering People and Projects for Good
Building robust relationships and partnerships is an important part of our work. We provide support and practical assistance to realise local projects with those where the project is based to ensure its long term success.Education and employment
Collaborative design and discovery
Our work in instructional design and program implementation is often connected to education and employment on behalf of organisations. It also a source of inspiration and ideas and Discovery is one of them. Discovery is a culture and language fair individual assessment tool that recognises everyone has potential. Traditional assessment tools do not. Senior men and women in north east Arnhem Land know this and helped design Discovery to see their young people given choice and opportunity. And it worked. And now we know it works everywhere.
Enterprise
Sustaining communities through social enterprise and appropriate investment
We work with and support social enterprises run by school age children through to adults to further community priorities. This builds on our experience of helping private and public organisations and community representatives develop a considered and purposeful investment strategy from within that they then lead themselves.
Current collaborations
We take partnerships seriously and increasingly are working in as an associate with a range of organisations.
Working in this way, helps realise greater opportunities, equity and lasting benefits. Our role ranges from providing assistance with a specific aspect of opportunity to having an ongoing role as a member of the team.
