Peacebuilding Group is hosting: Urulu Statement from the Heart, Dean Parkin

25 June 2020, 18:00 - 25 June 2020, 19:00

We are living in times of great disruption, but also times of great opportunity.  Three years ago, the Uluru Statement From The Heart was drafted but its forward-looking objectives were not realised at the time.  Now, with world attention on the Black Lives Matter movement, racism and the criminal justice system, there is an urgency for all of us to revisit and confront the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and the wider Australian community.  The PBG will have meetings this month and next focusing on these important peacebuilding movements.

We are very privileged to have Dean Parkin as our next guest speaker.

Dean is the CEO of Australians for Indigenous Constitutional Recognition and Project Director of Uluru Education Project.  He has been closely involved in the process that resulted in the historic Uluru Statement From The Heart.

Dean is from the Quandamooka peoples of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) in Queensland. He has a Bachelor of Arts (Politics and Journalism) from the University of Queensland and a Graduate Certificate in Education from the University of Melbourne. He is a Senior Fellow of the Atlantic Fellowship for Social Equity and is an ex-officio member of the Business Council of Australia’s Indigenous Engagement Taskforce. Formerly an investment analyst at alternative asset investment firm Tanarra Capital, Dean also has extensive experience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs.
