Through lived experience, strategic insight and practical application, the summit will challenge participants to consider how organisational culture, leadership and decision-making can better reflect First Nations authority, knowledge and ways of being.Arranyinha has intentionally designed this Summit to support organisations, government and their people to move beyond cultural awareness towards cultural accountability, strengthening their capability to create environments where First Nations peoples feel culturally safe because First Nations cultural sovereignty is recognised, respected and upheld.This event will be held in the Moonah Forest (aka the Open House) at the Geelong Arts Centre and includes an on Country immersion led by Wadawurrung Woman, Corrina Eccles, and a native foods infused luncheon at The Gordon."Cultural safety is the experience.
