Event description
Stan Grant will give a keynote speech and after a short dinner break will then facilitate a panel discussion including:

Talking from the heart about racism, we will have deep conversations about the pressures on Aboriginal and culturally and linguistically diverse people in our communities, and share about our personal journey. We want to talk together about how we will address local racism.
Through a safe, mediated process community members can submit questions to the panel, and continue the conversation during dinner and after the evening's formalities.
