Yarning Circle: Aboriginal Australia

Talk Description

Exemplifying contemporary psychological safety standards, Yarning Circles are safe spaces where everybody has a voice and the right to be heard. They were traditionally used to make egalitarian community decisions and, with Aboriginal Australia stretching back roughly 75,000 years, may also be the world's oldest OSH framework.

Join Wiradjuri woman Donna Ingram as she guides you in a conversation about Yarning Circles, Aboriginal Australia, and where traditional wisdom could fit in the 21st century workplace. With 40 years' experience across Aboriginal affairs, government, and community organisations, Donna is a leading cultural expert who is often called upon for cultural guidance and will create a safe space for delegates to discuss, learn, and connect.

Spaces are strictly limited, reserve your spot now to avoid disappointment.
