You and eight other self-determining Aboriginal communities in Australia have shared their dreams with us – effective strategies of revitalisation and resurgence.
Some key themes have emerged out of these strategies:
Community based enterprise is an effective vehicle of change and can be an expression of cultural identity and pride
Intergenerational connection is intentionally designed and integrated within community-led solutions
Cultural, social and emotional wellbeing is prioritised, with economic benefits viewed as complementary rather than central
Does this resonate with you? Do you have a different perspective?
We would love to hear from you! Please provide your comments below.
What we are learning together, and the information gathered, is being used to improve our development approach at Community First Development (internally), inform others on what is important for First Nations community organisations, and share learning among First Nations Peoples in Australia and globally.
As per our early discussions with you and the consent form you signed, any information you provided to us as part of this research will remain confidential unless you give us permission to share it.
You are free to withdraw from the research at any time, or to decline to answer any questions in the study.
