Caring for Country, Caring for Each Other: Celebrating World Localisation Day in Australia

How can we work together to create deep localization and a wellbeing society? How can we create a fair, ecologically healthy society for all, while responding to the challenges of ‘greenwashing’ and the corporatization of sustainability strategies?

Join us for a discussion between four remarkable women, who will share insights into their approaches to building a localised, Earth-centred, socially just society.

Discussions will include the following topics: the urgency of supporting localisation across Australia; the Relationist Ethos that is the foundation of Indigenous societies in Australia; the role of Indigenous 'First Laws' in informing and transforming Australian society; the emerging Indigenous-led and other regenerative initiatives across our continent; how to challenge the current economic system to bring Earth centred values into society; and how to address the challenges we face in transforming industrialised societies into mature civilisations that Care for Country and Care for Each Other.
