We’ve been here before - An Evening in Conversation with Nyoongar Elder Dr Noel Nannup and Professor Fiona Stanley, with Professor Carmen Lawrence as MC.
We find ourselves at a crossroads.
'Business as usual' is no longer sufficient to address the interconnected crises of rising inequality, climate change and an economic system that serves a few at the expense of people and planet.
However, this isn't the first time we have faced such complex issues.
We have been here before, and luckily for us that means there is much to learn from the past - from ancient Aboriginal Culture that has witnessed and adapted to climate change, to contemporary challenges and victories in the fields of public health, politics and social change.
We invite you to join Professor Fiona Stanley AC (the person not the building), Dr Noel Nannup (NAIDOC Western Australian Elder of the Year) and former WA Premier Professor Carmen Lawrence, for a fascinating discussion exploring what we can learn from the past - and how we can rise to the challenges of our time for a better future.
Tickets: $40 ($25 concession; $60 solidarity)
