Weaving Futures is a full day gathering for people grappling with new cultural futures. It aims to be a catalyst for fresh and constructive thinking about how we might collectively engage in meaningful work that contributes to a future where Aboriginal people are fully represented, distinctive and vibrant.

To initiate open discussion, there will be opportunities to connect and reflect, as well as hearing from speakers currently working together to further two-way learning in their domains. These introductory talks will provide an opportunity to understand the highlights and the challenges of this type of emerging work in practice.

Presenters include:

Dr Jilda Andrews and Dr Kristin Alford - Facilitators
Mark Koolmatrie and John Fargher – Discussing Co-design.
Nick Hays and Daniel Riley– Discussing New types of organisations.
