Event description

The K2W Link Inc will host its annual forum on Tuesday 6th December in Goulburn with this year's theme; Regenerating country, culture and communities in the Great Eastern Ranges- K2W Link.

We are excited to announce our keynote speaker is award-winning director, writer and presenter Damon Gameau - retelling the story of humans and nature.

Gameau’s latest film Regenerating Australia is set in 2030, it explores Australia's transition to a greener future and shows the impact of how Australia could look if it transitioned to a fairer, cleaner, more community focused economy. His other films include 2040, which is about how the future look if we embraced the best climate actions available today, and That Sugar Film which won Best Documentary at the Australian AACTA awards.

Other key speakers will include local regenerative farming champions, ecologists and First Nations groups who are regenerating country and community through traditional ecological knowledge and cultural practices.

The day will also feature examples of other groups, businesses and organisations that are working to connect people and nature through new technologies, the arts, and by providing access to environmental markets.

This is the first time that we have held the forum in Goulburn and we are encouraging all local environmentalists, nature supporters, students, farmers, Landcarers, Bushcarers, Field Naturalists and Sustainability group members to attend. 

This forum is about bringing people together and we hope it will inspire and motivate groups and people within the region, as well as providing opportunities for connecting with each other and community building throughout the day and into the future.

We are offering discounted rates to students and members of local environmental groups.
