Taking the Aboriginal crisis out of the too-hard basket

In November 2009, Lyndall Thomas, Editorial Director of the Information Access Group, attended a seminar called ‘Bridging the Gap – Communicating with Aboriginal Communities’ run by Richard Trudgen and his team.

This seminar was challenging and confronting. It opened Lyndall's eyes to assumptions that she didn’t even realise she’d made about the problems facing Aboriginal communities.

Lyndall found that the seminar wasn’t easy. Some of it was controversial. And a lot of it was hard to digest.

But, Lyndall says, if you are interested in creating an Australia where social inclusion is a genuine thing that we live and breathe, rather than just something we talk about, then I recommend this seminar to you.

It’s incredibly rare for the Information Access Group to recommend a third party service and we want you to know that we don’t do it lightly.

The seminars are running in Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Darwin, Sydney and Brisbane from July onwards. Please visit the Why Warriors website for all the relevant information.

If you do attend, we will hope to engage with you afterwards in some robust discussion about what you learned and how it changed your views.
