ICS is proud to host its new 2017 National Indigenous Employment: Building A Future Conference and 2017 Black Thunder: The Power of Black Voices Towards 2020 Conference and offer delegates an opportunity to attend two conferences in one registration!
- (1888PressRelease) April 06, 2017 - Indigenous Conference Services is now Calling for Papers for its inaugural 2017 National Indigenous Employment: Building A Future Conference and 2017 Black Thunder: The Power of Black Voices Towards 2020 Conference scheduled to be held in Canberra on the 13th-15th December 2017 and invites presenters to submit abstracts for presentations and workshops.
The 2017 Black Thunder: The Power of Black Voices Towards 2020 Conference will bring together many of this country's Indigenous leaders, academics, politicians, activists, Indigenous elders, cultural advocates and those who are making a contribution to the struggle of self-determination for Indigenous people in Australia through their leadership and actions from grassroots communities. It is designed to be both inspiring, self empowering whilst providing the opportunities for delegates to evaluate what the future holds for Indigenous People at the same time, making a bold statement to the wider community that Indigenous self determination is both strong and gaining a stronger momentum each day. Today, we have the largest number of representatives ever elected. This has in some way given Indigenous people a voice to the highest level in Local, Territory, State and federal governments.
The structure of the 2017 Black Thunder: The Power of Black Voices towards 2020 Conference program will revolve around the following conference themes:
Strengthening and keeping our "cultural identity".
Empowering and developing strong leadership
The complexity of funding Australian's First Nations Peoples services (Healing Circle discussion with National, State and Territory governments and organisations)
Closing the Gap -Indigenous Health What will 2020 hold in the future?
Indigenous Education - Our pathway to education to 2020
Justice (What will our incarceration rates be by 2020?)
Strengthening our families, youth and elders and enhancing community resilience
Business - Economic development from a business perspective
Tackling racism now and towards 2020
A Treaty & Australia's recognition of its First Nation Peoples
Recognition of Aboriginal Land Rights
Similarly, the 2017 National Indigenous Employment: Building a Future Conference brings together organisations, employers and government agencies to discuss and paint a bigger picture of Indigenous employment. Over the years, Indigenous employment has changed considerably. Even though Indigenous unemployment rate is high and still unacceptable, reality shows us that the overall picture is getting brighter by the day. The conference will have an employment trade show as part of the proceedings. This will give participants the chance to look at further opportunities to develop their career further and have the chance to meet with prospective employment agencies. Moreover, the 2017 National Indigenous Employment Conference themes are centred around four main topics namely Education, Employment, Economic development and Empowered communities as the event is designed to equip and empower delegates and drives Aboriginal & Torres Straits Islanders forward as a people. The conference will also take an in-depth look at present day government policies and how they may affect our future.
Presenters are encouraged to submit their papers articulating connection to one or more of the themes detailed above. ICS encourage all presenters to submit abstracts that cater for the broad audience of delegates comprising of Indigenous leaders, academics, politicians, activists, Indigenous Elders, cultural advocates, industry professionals, CEOs, senior managers and policy makers.
