Churchill Chat - informal speaker event

Join the ACT Churchill Fellowship Association for an engaging evening with recent Fellows who’ll share their report findings and answer your questions about their project.

Snacks will be provided, and a cash bar will operate as you mingle with past Churchill Fellows and ponder how you can learn globally and inspire locally.

Meet our speakers

• Michelle Ainsworth PSM is a former Press Gallery journalist and Editor of Politics at the ABC who used her 2023 Fellowship to research the global decline in trust in democracy and look at how news organisations could help slow this trend in Australia.

• Driven to create products with greater efficiency, performance and user fit, 2024 Fellow David Barbalet recently travelled to the USA and Canada to expand ergonomic and engineering capabilities within his own practice. Having recently returned, David intends to share these skills and expand his practice to benefit a wider range of Australians who will have greater access to bespoke advanced adaptive equipment made locally to meet their needs.
