Acknowledge this!Date: Tuesday 5th May 2020 Time: 10:00am - 11:30am Cost: $22.00 Format: Online The next Aha! Moment: How to give an authentic Acknowledgement of Country Today, many organisations, businesses and schools are implementing Acknowledgements of Country (AoC) - but not many people know why and few know how to go beyond the standard script. When Acknowledgement of Country becomes a token part of proceedings it defeats the purpose of what AoC’s are meant to represent in the first place. Join us as Rhys Paddick and Emma Gibbens explore what it takes to deliver a genuine and meaningful Acknowledgement of Country. Acknowledge this! Is about going beyond the words and beyond the fear of getting it wrong to acknowledge country like you mean it. Introducing our speakers: Rhys Paddick Rhys is an advocate of cultural leadership and the development of sound educational and raining programs.

Rhys's career and long term networks began with educational, supportive and mentoring programs of Aboriginal koolingars (kids), in both primary and secondary schools. His focus is to now bring a modern adaptation of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture into the wider Australian forum in an effort to connect Australians with our common culture – people culture.
