Aspirational goals for Indigenous Australians

Strong foundations

rebuilding social norms in indigenous communities
conference proceedings
Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership

This conference challenges the predominant view that the 'answer' to Indigenous disadvantage in Australia (particularly in remote communities) lies exclusively in improving service delivery. Better services are important but will only go so far in addressing entrenched socio-economic problems. What is needed in concert with better services, is a rebuilding of the social norms which form the foundation of a healthy society. Posted 25-07-2007

9th Indigenous Researchers' Forum

11-13 July 2007, Alice Springs Convention Centre

The theme for the Forum, "Research: Critical tool for self-empowerment", will enable participants to reflect upon ways in which research is currently used to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples with the opportunity to engage in a process that begins with the self-empowerment for the individual and, ultimately, enables family and community well-being.
