IAP2A Sydney Local Networking Event | Engaging with First Nations communities
About
In the spirit of this year’s NAIDOC Week theme, we aim to honour and amplify the voices of First Nations communities.
This event is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding and skills in engaging with Aboriginal communities. Don't miss out on the chance to connect, learn, and share insights as we celebrate the strength, resilience, and culture of First Nations peoples.
