Notice Board - Hui, Conferences, Events

Come to Hamilton, to renew friendships, form new networks and weave together knowledge and understanding of inclusiveness, diversity and community building.

This is where every conversation begins with “Yes! - and ...”.

You are a person who has experience of disability in your family, you are from a marginalised group, you are a decision-maker in perhaps a government agency or a council, you are a service provider, you are an educator, or you are a person who believes that we can make the world a better place.

You seek new ways of thinking.

You know there are no easy answers.

You are keen to be inspired to engage in action.

Most of all, you share a belief that inclusion is not up for debate.

Down Under Institute is for you!

We aim to:

• deepen understanding of issues surrounding structural barriers to inclusion.
• foster conversations about belonging and community membership.
• welcome the gifts of people in the margins.
• build community capacity.

• develop local and international connections and alliances.
• discuss, contemplate and share ideas.
