Australians Telling a New Story - Blacktown Forum

Friday, May 3, 2019 - 10:00 to Sunday, May 5, 2019 - 17:00

Australians Telling a New Story - Blacktown Forum will be a weekend of story sharing and trust building in Blacktown NSW.

The Blacktown Forum will acknowledge our colonial past and embrace our ‘three-story’ identity (in the words of Aboriginal leader Noel Pearson) of 60,000 years of Aboriginal culture, inherited British systems and today’s rich multicultural reality. The forum is the first in a series of IofCA events encouraging people to engage with others from different backgrounds - breaking down stereotypes and uncovering the structures and systems that drive inequality in Australian society today.

This public event is being organised in partnership with SydWest Multicultural Services. For more information, contact Jean Brown
