CORRIDORS, CATCHMENTS & COASTS

The WA Chapter of the Australian Association for Environmental Education is excited to present a reimagining of its very successful Catchments, Corridors & Coasts (CCC) program.

This event for teachers, environmental educators and sustainability champions will connect participants with a range of EfS practitioners to generate two-way dialogue and productive networks.

Attendees will have the opportunity to attend all six theme sessions and  engage with 18 amazing EfS program providers and what they have to offer

Supporting Self Determination and VOICE overseas and at home: through volunteers with ‘everything and nothing’.

A dialogue with Bill Armstrong former AVI CEO and Doyen Radcliffe Community First Development Regional Manager.

Former OSB/AVI CEO Bill Armstrong will talk about the idea of volunteers and community development workers doing ‘everything and nothing’ as a community development approach supporting self determination at home and abroad. His philosophy is captured in the recent book about his life that will be available for purchase at the event and before at https://everythingandnothing.com.au/ .

Doyen Radcliffe, Community First Development Regional Manager says “Hearing the voice of the people captures a powerful picture that empowers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to have ownership of their future to create a better and brighter tomorrow” (from Stories of Change, 2019).

This event has been organised by Australian volunteer Alumni and Peter Devereux with support from Australian Volunteers International and the One World Centre. Peter Devereux will facilitate the dialogue. Material on volunteering with the Australian Volunteer Program and Community First Development will be available on the day but is also accessible anytime at https://www.australianvolunteers.com/ and

ABOUT NAIDOC WEEK

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia … to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’. This committee was once responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week and its acronym has since become the name of the week itself. Find out more about the origins and history of NAIDOC Week: https://www.naidoc.org.au/about/naidoc-week

One World Centre Community Film Screening and Conversation


IN MY BLOOD IT RUNS

Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. His family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education. We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream, imagine and hope for his future self.

WHEN?  6pm (7pm screening), Saturday 4 April 2020.

WHERE? Southcare Hall, 54 Bickley Cres, Manning. 

REGISTER ONLINE AT:  https://www.trybooking.com/BIVRW – by 3 April

COST by donation through Trybooking   (recommended $20-25 waged; $10-15 unwaged)
