STREAM HOSTED ON THE 6th June
Workshop 1: 12.00pm – 1.30pm
Workshop 2: 2.30pm – 4.00pm

In the future how will we communicate to and learn from under-served groups, such as those living in outer metropolitan, regional and remote areas; Indigenous communities; people for whom English is a second language; and people who are disabled or have limited mobility?

While I know that the “deficit model” isn’t the way, I still need to be a diligent student of this particular subject and focus on not wasting my efforts, such as reviewing my goals on a regular basis.
