The Indigenous Focus Day is a day of talking, sharing and reflecting on the lessons learned, and realisation of what is yet to do. Remote and Urban Indigenous Communities have specific issues and sucesses. The IFD enables the people and communities to have a voice about their work and the issues they are going to address next.
The day’s program is designed around speakers and workshop discussions.
The workshops will focus on issues of affordability and availability of communications for Indigenous consumers. The workshops will be introduced with a summary of the issues identified in previous Indigenous Focus Days.
Groups will be split evenly between topics of affordability and availability. Groups should also take either an organisational or individual/community perspective.
Obstacles – What obstacles are we facing in terms of affordability and availability of communications?
Solutions – What are the possible solutions to each identified obstacle?
Policy Plan – Choose an obstacle and corresponding solution. What steps can we follow to advocate for and bring about change on this issue?
Action Plan – What can you and others do to make changes?
