Seats are now getting very limited for the 2015 National Indigenous Men’s Network Conference scheduled on the 28th – 30th September at the Hilton Hotel in Darwin NT with inspiring high calibre guest speakers from all throughout Australia.
The convenor of the 2015 National Indigenous Men’s Network Conference scheduled on the 28th to 30th of September at the Hilton Hotel Darwin formally invites you to attend this year’s conference which is the forerunner to the Global Indigenous Men’s
conference scheduled for 2016 at the Stamford Grand Adelaide. The 2015 National Indigenous Men’s Network Conference agenda has now being finalized with a kaleidoscope of national Indigenous male identities speaking and sharing with other
indigenous menfolk in an attempt to set up a National Indigenous Men’s Network, much in the same way as the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Women’s Alliance (NATSIWA). As the conference has been centred around the sharing of information,
increasing network and access to programs, what a great opportunity it will be to participate in this year’s event and network with experts from various states and territories of Australia freely sharing knowledge, ideas based on successes of programs
implemented at the community and national level as well as results of research studies and yarning about personal journeys relative to improving Indigenous Men’s wellbeing.
Among the prominent speakers will be Chief Minister Hon. Adam Graham Giles MLA. Adam Graham Giles resides in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and is the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory and Leader of the Country Liberal Party since March 2013. He
became a Country Liberal Party member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in 2008, representing the electorate of Braitling. Giles is the first Indigenous Australian to become head of government in Australia. Furthermore, another inspiring addition
to our deadly guest speaker is Professor Norm Sheehan, a Wiradjuri man born in Mudgee NSW. He completed a PhD in Education at the School of Education at the University of Queensland (UQ) in 2004, winning the N. V. Varghese Prize for Comparative
Education. He has recently published two books, Stolen Generations Education and Respectful Design. Both these works address Aboriginal community cultural development and social and emotional well being education. His expertise is based on
identifying and activating existing strengths within Indigenous communities as a basis for relevant education and development initiatives. This work has attracted continued support from government and philanthropic funding agencies. In 2013, Dr Sheehan
commenced as Director of Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples Southern Cross University.
